Please bring a packed lunch.Join writer Maureen Boyle for a one-day workshop at Ballyscullion Park on the beautiful shores of Lough Beg. In our workshop we will explore ways to access memory using a range of triggers and writing techniques. We will read examples of memoir writing and think about the issues that arise in any memoir project: consideration of those whose lives intersect in our stories; how research might help the project, the options we have in terms of form and voice; issues of truth and fictionalisation. This will be an informal and supportive workshop in which you may work in prose or poetry, and you do not need to have written memoir before, or you may be in the midst of writing one – the workshop will work for both stages of writing.Maureen Boyle lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She began writing as a child in Sion Mills, County Tyrone, winning a UNESCO medal for a book of poems in 1979 at the age of eighteen. She studied in Trinity College, Dublin and did postgraduate work in the Universities of East Anglia and Ulster. She taught Creative Writing with the Open University and taught English in St Dominic’s Grammar School in Belfast. She is a mentor in Memoir and Poetry at the Irish Writers’ Centre.
