Your Story, Your Voice: A Generative Memoir Class with Jessica Gigot

In this three-week course, we will meet your memoir's most important character--you. Using writing prompts and workshops we will generate new work and explore the various tools we have to represent ourselves in personal narrative. As a group, there will be opportunities to read from several contemporary memoirists to see how they have crafted original voice. Jessica Gigot is a poet, farmer, and writing coach. She is currently a poetry editor for The Hopper. Her memoir, A Little Bit of Land, was published by Oregon State University Press in September 2022.
