Workshop Details
Memoir: Stepping into our own stories
Memoirs – narratives written about formative, important, memorable (or sometimes best forgotten) parts of an author’s life – have become a mainstay of contemporary publishing.
For those of us who simply want to find a way to organise, think about and understand, or maybe even commit to print, our own story, memoir writing is a powerful instrument.
In our two-hour session we’ll talk a little about what memoir is and, through gentle and non-intrusive writing prompts, open up a tool box to help us connect to our own memory banks, to start making decisions about the kind of narratives we wish to make.
All you’ll need is paper, a pen, a little bit of curiosity and a willingness to take a trip into your own story.
Saturday May 6th, 2023, at 11:00 IRISH SUMMER TIME (2 hours)
Cost: €20.00
