This course aims to explore the many ways in which we write about our life with a specific focus on memoir.

Other genres touched on are autobiography, biography, essay, travel writing, food writing, nature writing and some forms of journalism.

Each week through free-writing activities, sharing of stories, and information handouts, participants will be guided to a place of confidence and knowledge from where they can begin and continue to tell their story.

There won’t be workshopping of stories, but everyone is invited to submit a short piece each week which can be shared in advance with the group. This adds to discussion, especially of free-writing exercises if they are a continuum of a project the writer is working on.

The classes are aimed at beginners and emerging writers and will be particularly suited if you have a special project in mind that you would like to get up and running.
