QWF Writing Workshop with Julian Sher. My Story, My Way: How to Write the Story You Always Wanted to Tell

Location: Multipurpose Room. In English.

Registration required. Library Members only. Registration opens on June 4.


We tell stories all the time—about our lives, our families, an exciting adventure or a difficult moment in our lives. But how do you transform those spoken words into written words that you can share in a journal for your family, a personal book, or an article in your local newspaper? This easy-going workshop takes you through the steps of finding a character’s path and their journey, how to build that into a narrative arc, and how to write for all five senses. This is not a course for professional writers, this is about showing everyone how they can write a story as exciting and rewarding as any good book or movie. We will learn by putting our memories on paper, sharing what works and what doesn’t, and uncovering the secrets of good storytelling.

Julian Sher is an award-winning storyteller, the author of nine books, and a documentary director who has trained writers in more than 25 countries around the world. His film Ghosts of Afghanistan won the top Canadian Screen Award for Best Documentary and Best Writing. He was also the Senior Producer of CBC’s The Fifth Estate, Canada’s premier investigative TV program, for five years. His stories have appeared in the Montreal Gazette, the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, The New York Times and Reader’s Digest. Julian is also a Senior Fellow at the Centre for Free Expression at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Dates: July 4, 11, 18 & 25.



Lieu: Salle polyvalente. En anglais.

Inscription obligatoire. Pour membres de la Bibliothéque. L’inscription débute le 4 juin.


Atelier d'écriture QWF avec Julian Sher. Mon Histoire, à Ma Façon : Comment Écrire L'Histoire Que Vous Avez Toujours Voulu Raconter

Nous racontons des histoires tout le temps—sur nos vies, nos familles, une aventure passionnante ou un moment difficile de nos vies. Mais comment transformer ces mots parlés en mots écrits que vous pouvez partager dans un journal pour votre famille, un livre personnel ou un article dans votre journal local ? Cet atelier décontracté vous guide à travers les étapes pour trouver le chemin d'un personnage et son voyage, comment construire cela en une arc narratif, et comment écrire pour les cinq sens. Ce n'est pas un cours pour écrivains professionnels, il s'agit de montrer à tout le monde comment ils peuvent écrire une histoire aussi excitante et gratifiante qu'un bon livre ou un film. Nous apprendrons en mettant nos souvenirs sur papier, en partageant ce qui fonctionne et ce qui ne fonctionne pas, et en découvrant les secrets d'une bonne narration.
