    Event description

    Want to write your memoir?

    This workshop will guide you in the crafting of a compelling short memoir by delving into your past, refining your narrative voice, and understanding the shades between perception and reality in storytelling. Through a series of exercises and discussions, you will learn to shape an engaging piece.

      

    Learning outcomes

    As part of this workshop, you will:

    • Find a story to tell
    • Choose what to leave in and what to take out
    • Develop real-life characters into real-life settings
    • Write what you know, and research what you don't.

     

    Format

    This is an in-person workshop with a focus on writing craft; it will be held at State Library of Queensland. This workshop is designed with a focus on beginner writers of memoir and narrative non-fiction, but is suitable for writers of all levels and backgrounds.
