'Getting started with memoir'
Saturday 15 November 2025, 10am-3pm
There's never been a better time to write about your one precious and interesting life. In this workshop, we delve into the craft of memoir, one of today's most popular writing genres, and get you started on the story you need to tell.
From personal experience...
... I know that writing can heal.
In 2001, I was told I had breast cancer.
I kept a daily journal while going through it.
The daily practice of showing up to journal helped me cope and get through, as did the writing of my two books.
Since then, I have used my experience of trauma, challenge, recovery and achievement, to support others in the writing of their own life journeys.
I can help you write.
My personal life experiences, and proven ability to help others write and publish their stories, makes me an effective, collaborative, and trustworthy partner for your writing project.
