Heavy: What Made Heavy a Bestselling Memoir

Linda Joy and Brooke explore the unique elements in this 4-week class that make reading Heavy a must-do if you’re writing memoir. They explore on the amazing poetry, style, and unique skills in Kiese Laymon’s luminous and revealing memoir Heavy. Linda Joy and Brooke teach the craft elements that bring readers deeply into Kiese’s life as a young boy, then a young man in Mississippi.

This class will inspire you to take your craft to a new level in your writing!
