What's your Story?
For anyone who wants to explore their life story with words and images. Guided activities and creative prompts will spark your thinking, get your creativity flowing, and inspire you to represent the story you hold within you. No formal writing or collage experience is required, just an interest in telling your story — or finding out what your story is!
Spark your Life Story
Conversation and teachings about memoir for anyone who wants to write their story or their family’s story. Bring your interest, enthusiasm and questions! Writing about your life is one thing — shaping it into a coherent story for others to read is another. We’ll discuss structure and form; voice, perspective and tone; publishing and distribution options. If you have some life writing pieces in hand but aren’t sure how to weave them into a story or if you don’t know how to get started, this workshop is for you. Join us for conversation that will inform and inspire, and for some prompts that will help shape your story and (re)invigorate your memoir-writing project. Listen to a CBC Radio interview about the workshop here.
