“Sarah LaBrie’s memoir workshop was exactly what I needed to clarify my approach to my memoir-in-progress. Each session combined practical craft discussions—like the essentials of scene, character, and narrative longing—with broader, thought-provoking ideas on structure, including the concept of letting a story’s shape emerge organically from the writing. These lessons gave me different lenses through which to assess and revise my work. The workshops themselves were then grounded in these principles, making feedback more constructive and focused than the usual ‘I liked this’ or ‘this didn’t work for me.’ This shift in perspective will influence not just this project, but all my future writing!”

“Working with Sarah has transformed my approach to writing and revision. With encouraging but clear direction, Sarah guides you through the drafting process and asks you to think not only about the poetry of your sentences, but also about the importance of content and structure.”

— G.L., Workshop Student

I work with writers one-on-one and in small groups on memoir, essays, hybrid nonfiction, TV and fiction. If you’re looking for feedback on a manuscript or a screenplay, help shaping a new project, or want to bring me in to lead a workshop or class, get in touch.
