Each workshop is based around prompts from writers and texts which allow participants to explore a memory. We’ll also use images and symbols to unearth stories. The workshops will suit those who are interested in trying out methods of memoir writing, and those who would like to use writing to help shape or preserve memories. They will also be useful to fiction writers who want to draw on lived experience in their writing. The pieces you develop in each workshop may form the basis of a short piece or threaded together to form part of a long-form project, such as a memoir or novel.You will have the opportunity to share what you write, but there is no obligation to do so. Feedback is based on the feelings the writing evokes, rather than on style or technique. The workshops are designed to work either as one-off sessions or as part of a series.Delaina Haslam is a creative nonfiction writer and a translator.
