Discover the art of turning real-life experiences into compelling stories in this free, hands-on workshop. Whether you’re interested in memoir, family history, personal essays, travel diaries, local history or feature writing, this session will give you the tools to bring your stories to life.
Through guided exercises and group discussions, you’ll learn how to overcome the hardest part—getting started. Explore techniques to find your voice, hook your reader, and use sensory language that brings your writing alive. At the heart of the workshop is the powerful principle: Show, Don’t Tell.
