After you're gone, do you really want Cousin Mildred spinning your life to sound like all you did was play bingo and shop on QVC? Now's your chance to write YOUR story the way YOU want in this 2-session workshop! Free. Registration encouraged, drop-ins welcome.

Two consecutive Mondays from 5:30pm-7:30pm.

Session 1: Monday October 28th - Discuss and explore traditional obituaries as well as offbeat necrologues. What works for your individual story? Homework for the next session will be to write a draft of your own obituary.

Session 2: Monday, November 4th - Bring your prepared obituaries to share with the class for a friendly round of constructive criticism.

This workshop is facilitated by Michael DelPriore, who claims no expertise as a professional obituary writer, has taught architectural design and modelmaking at Pratt Institute and Fashion Institute of Technology, and feels that everyone has a story to tell...or write.
