Are you stuck, looking for a way in, unable to figure out how to proceed, wondering how to make a cohesive story and a compelling read from the raw material that is your life?
Discover the life-changing potential of memoir writing in a workshop designed to take you deeper into your heart and your past, to mine your own life for the stories that need telling.
This is a master class in writing memoir. We will write in class from long-tested prompts that will spark your creative energy. The work will be read aloud, discussed, and used as vehicles for developing a virtual toolbox of literary techniques to take home with you as you plunge more deeply into your writing
Beverly Donofrio will talk about healing from trauma through writing.
A deeply spiritual act, writing creates distance from which understanding takes root, helping you to know yourself and examine how the events in your life have shaped you.
In this workshop we’ll look at some great examples of the short form and use free-writing prompts to generate ideas for our own short, personal stories. By the end of the weekend you will have crafted a heartfelt story from the material of your life.
Put pen to paper—or fingers to keyboard—in this writing workshop with master memoirist Beverly Donofrio and novelist/memoirist Kaylie Jones.
