We had a wonderful in-depth workshop on memoirs and autobiography.
First, we discussed the myriad of issues from mining one's past, followed by the various approaches currently used by authors. Later, we looked at examples of structuring memoirs and considered which to use. In the afternoon we listened to readings from the students' embryo memoirs and offered advice, encouragement, and suggestions.
It was such a productive and useful workshop that I have agreed to run another next April 2025 (Date to be confirmed) if you would like to be added to the list please email me your expressions of interest.
