DESCRIPTION

Meeting every other week from April to June, it's time to tell your story. In this Memoir Writing Workshop, you will join with fellow storytellers to write about your life, your relationships, your opinions, your advice, the lessons you have learned and more.

The instructor will provide weekly writing prompts, or you can write about whatever is on your mind. During each class, participants will share their pieces and get feedback from an encouraging group of fellow storytellers. The instructor will provide editorial support as requested. We will also review writing tips and techniques.

All levels of writing ability are encouraged.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?
Do you have stories to tell? This class will motivate you to do it! You will need access to a computer and software such as Word, along with the ability to email your pieces to the instructor. No prior memoir writing experience is required, just a desire to write and a willingness to give and receive feedback in a supportive environment.

INSTRUCTOR | Wendy Humphrey is a communications and public relations specialist who has been helping people tell their stories for more than three decades. She has written extensively for both the healthcare and higher education sectors, with projects including newsletters, annual reports and more feature stories than she can count. Her latest passion is writing stories drawn from her own life and helping others do the same.
