In the 25 years I’ve taught writing, I’ve found that workshops, or critique groups, are the most effective format for improving students’ writing. This is probably because we learn best through teaching, and workshops provide this unique opportunity. Inside our labs, writers workshop each other’s pages. We dive into the craft—the foundation of good memoir—and provide thoughtful feedback. .
