Have you ever wanted to write your memoir, but didn't know where to start? Or maybe you've made an attempt, but it didn't turn out as you hoped. Writing a memoir involves more than just recounting the events of your life; it's about selecting meaningful experiences and crafting them into a story that resonates.
This program runs on Tuesdays from 4—25 June, 10am—12pm.
This course offers the guidance and tools necessary to navigate the memoir-writing journey. Across four sessions, we will cover:
  • Understanding how memoirs differ from autobiographies
  • Identifying the core message and focus of your story
  • Deciding on the best structure and approach
  • Mapping out significant life events
  • Embracing honesty in your narrative
  • Practical writing tips to enhance your story
  • The legal considerations of personal storytelling
  • Steps to take once your initial draft is complete.
Participants will receive a detailed workbook with exercises, plus access to all course materials. By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to writing your memoir with confidence and clarity.
