You've had the experiences, now get them down on paper.

You've had the experiences, now get them down on paper. This workshop will help you do exactly that. You will pick and poke through the details of your life, recreate scenes and dialogue, and examine situations from new angles. By the end of the workshop you will have the raw material to start the memoir, and a better idea of how to bring the material to life.

Bring a pen and lots of paper, or a laptop.
