DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:  Crafting Narrative Arc in Memoir =0D=0A=0D=0AWhen:  Wednesday, February 18, 7:00 to 8:00 pm PST=0D=0A=0D=0AWhere: Online through Zoom =0D=0A    =0D=0A=0D=0A  =0D=0A=0D=0ACost:    Editors Canada members, free; non-members, $10; student=0D=0A  non-members, $5=0D=0A=0D=0A  Narrative arc=0D=0A    describes the way most stories in English-language cultures flow:=0D=0A    exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, resolution.=0D=0A    Creative nonfiction uses the same structure, but whereas fiction=0D=0A    authors create a compelling arc for their stories, CNF authors must=0D=0A    find the arc in their stories. This can be particularly problematic=0D=0A    in memoirs. With historic nonfiction or self-help, there can be more=0D=0A    latitude to shape the story. But memoirs are about life, and life=0D=0A    rarely happens along a neatly defined arc. What if the inciting=0D=0A    incident is the most exciting part of the story? What if the climax=0D=0A    is known at the outset?where's the narrative arc in that? In this=0D=0A    presentation, we'll explore how editors can help shape the narrative=0D=0A    arc in creative nonfiction.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A  =0D=0A    About the speaker=0D=0A  =0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A  Lynne Melcombe has=0D=0A    been writing and editing professionally for nearly 40 years. Her=0D=0A    experience covers the map from freelance journalism to media=0D=0A    relations, conference note taking to marketing communications, copy=0D=0A    editing web materials to coaching emerging nonfiction writers. She=0D=0A    has certificates in writing, editing, and publishing from SFU's=0D=0A    Writing and Publishing Program and a Master of Fine Arts degree in=0D=0A    Creative Nonfiction Writing from University of King's College in Halifax. =0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A
