A Beginner's Guide to Memoir - Kristina Olsson

A Half Day Workshop - BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This very practical workshop takes you through the basic steps of planning and articulating the style and structure of your memoir. This half day workshop will cover the basic building blocks that will help you bring your story out of the real world and onto the page. Voice, temporal constraints, focus, personal anxieties, all of these things lead you on a journey towards finding your truth and translating it to the page. 

If you are at the very beginning of working on your memoir this workshop will help you imagine your way towards a completed manuscript. If you are lost in the weeds in the middle of a draft, this workshop will help you to re-find a focus for your memoir and to get back on track.
