Writing the personal can be daunting. In this five week zoom workshop series you'll look at the craft of writing memoir through poetry and creative non fiction. We'll analyse published works together and you'll be encouraged to use creative writing prompts designed to help you get writing your own story.

The first four weeks are writing workshops, the fifth session is a group feedback session.
