Memoir Writing: Exploring Memories & Meaning

Everyone has a story to tell, whether it’s inspiring, tragic, funny or sad. Memoir is one of the most popular and compelling kinds of writing today, focusing on times in your life where you bring all that you feel and have learned to your recollection. With innovative exercises for eliciting memories and writing memoirs, you’ll discover stories that intrigue and even surprise you with their power for self-discovery. If this is something you’ve been wanting to do for a while, maybe it’s time to seize the day and do it. There’s no time like the present to enjoy writing about your past, and having a blast doing it.
This day long workshop is geared to all levels of writing and open to everyone.
