Start Writing Your Life Story

In Person, offered through Arts Lit Lab, 6 weeks starting April 16th

The stories of our lives connect generations and communities. Whether you want to share your own life experiences or pass on your family’s stories, this workshop will help you get started and stay motivated.

Each week we’ll discuss aspects of writing from life, including wordcraft, storytelling techniques, organizing your project, and the complications of writing about living people. If you’ve taken Guided Autobiography but are looking for more storycraft instruction, this workshop delivers what you need.

Suggested themes and prompts will help you write 2-3 pages each week. Class sessions include time to share what you’ve written in a supportive environment. You’ll leave with lots of ideas to keep you writing. Attendees should bring paper and pen/pencils for in-class exercises.

When:
4/16 – 5/21, Tuesday afternoons 3:30-5:30
Where: Arts Lit Lab, 111 S. Livingston Street, in the Education Room
Fee: $168
