Memoir Writing

Jump start your memoirs and experience how energising and intriguing it is to explore your personal herstory!

For some women memoir writing can be an enjoyable and reflective process, and an outlet for creativity. Others find writing their story therapeutic and it helps them to move forward with their lives.

The aim is to empower women to find their voice, their own unique writing style and get them started on writing their story. Those writing their family histories will also find this course relevant. The course will provide intellectual stimulation and an opportunity to improve writing and literacy skills.

Please bring a pen and an exercise book (or a laptop) to class.

Enrolments opening soon! Keep an eye out for our instagram announcements.
