Event Details

Discover how to retrieve the details that will bring your story to life.

 

This writing workshop honors our roll as witnesses in our own lives and in the lives of others. Either in memoir or in fiction based on experience, writers tell what happened--and it's often a story that’s told later rather than sooner. Our memories are the shifting sands that hold our truths. Learn how to access and use memories to create your own strong truth story.

 

Bring writing materials.

 

$5 will be collected at the door.

 

Space is limited! Please register online at www.memoirmar21.eventbrite.com

or call the library at 203-946-8835.
