In this course, you will embark on a thoughtful exploration of your life's experiences, memories, and the unique narrative that only you can share. Whether you're a seasoned writer or new to the craft, our aim is to provide you with the tools, techniques, and encouragement to craft a memoir that captures the essence of your life's journey.
Our friendly and supportive environment is designed to nurture your creativity and foster a sense of community among fellow writers. Together, you will navigate the complexities of memory, emotion, and narrative, weaving them into a tapestry of personal history that is as unique as you are.
Each session will cover a different aspect of writing, through a variety of exercises. You will be encountering a range of different approaches to autobiography, journal, and diary writing, which will enable you to develop your own style. Optional weekly tasks will be given, and sharing your work in a supportive and positive way will be offered.
Please note that there is no class on 23rd October.
