This practical and interactive workshop will guide you through:
Introduction to Memoir Writing: An overview of the memoir genre, its significance in preserving personal stories, family legacy and personal growth.
Crafting Compelling Life Stories: An exploration of finding your point of view and voice in creative writing, structuring your story, and getting started.
Navigating Challenges in Memoir Writing: Exploring techniques to overcome challenges of writer’s block, fear of feedback, recalling memory, addressing memory gaps, and respectfully writing about living people.
Publishing pathways: Providing guidance on the major processes of traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing options for printing books for family and friends.
