Note: If you have experienced this class before, please come again and discuss with us how your writing is coming along. We will all benefit from your presence!
Writing about your life and your experiences is enormously liberating. Don’t think you have to be a professional, or even a “good” writer to create a keepsake memoir for yourself or for your family. Just bring your life experiences and desire to share them to this Dabble class, and let the storytelling begin!
This writer's workshop will discuss the basics of writing and publishing a memoir. Learn how to organize your thoughts, decide on a starting point, get in touch with your perspective and much more.
After instruction, we'll walk through a number of creative exercises to flex our writing muscles and get tips on how to turn your life story into a page-turning read.
For those interested in sharing their stories with not just family, but the world, we'll also have an overview of self publishing, looking for a publisher and marketing your memoir, as well as some legal matters to consider.
Whether this is a professional venture or a personal one, all students will come away excited and confident in their abilities to share their point of view.
All ages welcome
