Life Story Writing Workshop
This is a practical workshop in creative non-fiction, suitable for almost any area of interest. A range of exercises and discussions will progressively build upon each other, commencing with planning and scoping your writing. We'll be examining the writer's voice, how to find an opening hook and use of sensory language to get attention.
This workshop is about turning facts into a compelling story. Our goal is for workshop participants to go home fired up with ideas, enthusiasm and a plan for the way ahead.
