Memoir: Where to Begin?

Everyone has stories worth telling.

Have you been thinking about writing a memoir but aren’t sure where to start? This supportive and inspiring workshop will help you move from idea to action by turning your memories into meaningful written stories.

Come with one anecdote, memory, or life experience you’d like to explore. Through guided writing prompts, discussion, and simple storytelling techniques, you’ll begin shaping your experiences into the foundation of a memoir. Whether you have a single story to tell or dreams of writing an entire book, this workshop will help you take the first step.

In this workshop, you will:

• Identify meaningful stories from your life that are worth sharing • Learn techniques for transforming memories into compelling narratives • Explore how personal stories can connect with readers on a deeper level • Receive guided prompts to help overcome writer’s block and self-doubt • Leave with new writing, fresh inspiration, and momentum to continue

You’ll walk away with a work in progress, greater clarity about your memoir, and the confidence to keep writing.

This workshop is perfect for aspiring memoir writers, family historians, journal keepers, and anyone who has a story they feel called to share.

No prior writing experience necessary.
