Get Started on that Memoir

Join internationally published author, Barry Nicholls, for this introductory session on writing memoir. Getting started is the hardest thing, and this workshop will help you identify your through line (the element that binds the story together), have a go at writing family history and begin to incorporate your through line into your story. Ahead of the session, Barry would like you to think of a six-word memoir that encapsulates your main idea. For Barry, it’s 'Playing cricket was easier than life.' Attendees will also receive a workbook with examples of writing family history. Copies of Barry’s memoir Second Innings will also be available for purchase at the discounted price of $20.
