Everyone has a story to tell that belongs to them alone. Writing a memoir can be a precious act of self-discovery, and a way of finding meaning in key aspects of your life. This workshop will help you explore the craft of memoir writing and help you to find and develop your voice. Allowing space for short, structured exercises we will consider crucial techniques and ethical issues, and ways in which you can start to shape and share your memories in a way that both engages and inspires.
