How can you transform your life experiences into a narrative that others can read and appreciate?

So many things have happened in your life - where can you begin to turn them all into a story?

In this workshop we will look at particular episodes in your life – times when you have ventured into something new, have loved, confronted adversity, and passed on wisdom - and use writing skills, such as characterisation, description, dialogue, beginnings, endings, to craft stories that, strung together, tell your life as a quest, with you as the hero.

Part of the Write Here Festival 2024. Full program details here
