Workshop Description
Workshop description

I would be absolutely honoured to host a workshop for people who wish to write their
memoir in a creative non-fiction format. I would discuss where to begin and different ways to display your tale to your audience. We will look at different books, styles of expression and ways in which to personally write your narrative.
These classes will take time to settle into your body and express, through words, in your
own voice, the tale. At the end of these (or this) workshop, there will be an evening of presentation from students to the public.
