A Home for Your Memoir: Humanities Journalism and the Community Conversation

You have a personal story to tell. Maybe it’s a story of trauma and survival. Maybe it’s a story of adventure and travel. Or maybe it’s a story where you’re just sitting still and something amazing happens.

You want to tell it—you need to tell it. But you’re not sure where your story might “fit.” One likely home is Humanities Journalism, where writers connect their told experience to issues and controversies of interest to their communities. Come explore how many different memoirs—maybe even yours—connect to a bigger public conversation—and to an audience eager to read them.
