In Margie's writing courses, homework assignments supply you with questions to get you started, but once you start writing, you are the navigator of your own exploration. It will be up to you to question why that particular memory popped into your head, why you're telling the story you're telling, what insight you're discovering about looking back in time. Adults of all ages and writing abilities enjoy Margie Davis's personal essay writing courses. Writing Personal Essays Duration of the course is six weeks. This course is held three times a year.
