One-day (10am-4pm) memoir-writing intensive with award-winning writer and creative writing teacher Sonia Orchard, author of memoir "Groomed". Venue is a private room at the grand old Mount Macedon pub.
Participants will learn the basics of memoir writing and why it is such a powerful writing form. Exercises will be focused on helping participants find their own 'story', their voice and their style. They will also learn tips on scene setting, story-telling, and how to shape their narrative into a manuscript. Sonia excels at creating a safe space for writers (from beginners to experienced), and helping them build the confidence and create the plan they need to continue with their memoir writing beyond the classes.
No writing experience necessary, just a pen and lots of paper and a willingness to get started.
Tea and coffee is provided, and the pub kindly asks that you buy lunch.
Tickets are $210 (includes all booking fees).
