Workshop: Life Writing - A workshop in micro-memoir with Anna Lawrence

How do we find the time, attention and energy to write about something as huge as ‘life’? This workshop guides you through the stages of writing micro-memoir: unearthing a tiny instance from your life, then shaping and polishing it. It’s for anyone who has a story they want to tell but isn’t sure where to start. It’s also for anyone who isn’t sure what they want to say, but who’d like tools to help them explore their experiences through writing.

Running time approx. two hours
