Your Story Matters

An introductory workshop on writing about your life.

Your browser may not support display of this image. Each of us knows someone whose life stories entertain and touch us. Here's something you may not realize: YOU are that person for someone else!

Many people want to get their stories down but don't know where to begin or how to tell them. This workshop will get you started writing about your life and keep you going. You can do this! Start with one story, one page.

Through in-class exercises, sharing, and encouraging commentary, you'll gain confidence in your ability to remember and write down stories from your own life and of people close to you. You'll come away with several practical "tools" that will enable you to keep going once the workshop ends.

Just bring pen & paper. No writing experience required!
