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.
None at all, just the enjoyment of reading and writing, and curiosity.
Please bring paper and pens, or a laptop / word processor if preferred.
This course will increase your confidence as a writer. You will gain self-awareness and self-development. You could progress with additional Creative Writing Leisure courses or to formal studies in English, Communication Studies, and Journalism.
