SUMMARY:Webinar: MEMOIR WRITING
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR PETER BACHO presented writing sessions at the San 
 Francisco Public Library\, the King County Public Library\, the Hayward 
 Public Library\, the Sno-Isle Public Library\, and the Detroit Public 
 Library. He also teaches a class on memoir at The Evergreen State 
 College.\n\nParticipants will learn the basics of writing a memoir\, 
 starting with what a memoir isn't\, i.e.\, it is not an essay. A memoir is 
 another form of storytelling\, and as such\, it uses the same techniques as 
 effective novels: dialogue\, action\, drama\, climax\, etc. Participants 
 will be given assignments and will share their results for comment and 
 constructive critique.\n\nAmong Bacho's honors are an American Book Award 
 and a Washington Governor’s Writers Award. His latest book\, Uncle Rico's 
 Encore\, a collection of mini-memoirs about Filipino American Seattle\, has 
 received consistent and high literary praise. See 
 below.\n\nhttps://magazine.washington.edu/feature/peter-bacho-shows-his-love-for-seattle-with-uncle-ricos-encore/\n\nUncle 
 Rico's Encore was also one of four books in the large\, growing and 
 increasingly significant Asian American literary canon recommended for high 
 school classroom use. The article is featured in Social Education\, 
 published by the National Council for the Social Studies. See 
 below.\n\nHere is a link to a workshop Bacho taught at the SFPL earlier 
 this year.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4Y1V3_tmUI\n\n
