Event Details
“How to write a Life: A Writing Workshop” is a three-part program that will teach you how to “write a life" in short form, whether that is an obituary honoring someone who has already passed, a celebratory message for someone who is still with us, or an encapsulation of what your life means.
You can register for all three sessions or come to the ones that work for you. Each session will begin with an introductory lesson on the writing craft, provide time to write, and end with sharing your writing (at your comfort level) and realizations with your fellow participants.
Each session will feature a unique aspect to facilitate your writing process, including ways to approach memoir writing from a published author, end-of-life situations, and life celebration traditions in several cultures.
At the end of the workshop, participants will have the choice to display their “life celebration” written pieces in an exhibit in Martin Library’s atrium.
The workshops are taught by local author Nicole Watt.
