Start Your Story: The Magic of Memoir
A 2-hour workshop for community groups
With award-winning author and memoir coach Anne Bokma
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you,” wrote Maya Angelou.
How long have you wanted to tell your story? How many times have you thought about writing it? What’s stopping you? Maybe you’ve tried to write it before and got stuck? Maybe you have no idea where to begin. Maybe you think your story isn’t important. It is. Your story is meaningful to you and others. Maybe it’s time you wrote it down. Maybe even spoke it out loud.
This workshop is for those who have a story to tell but have no idea where to begin. Writing prompts and exercises are designed for soul-searching and creativity. Learn how to write your true-life tale and deliver it in a small group setting.
“Anne’s workshop ‘How to Write and Tell Your Story’ was engaging, interactive and a creative way to consider how to write a memoir. So much food for thought. Many participants who hadn’t previously thought about writing a memoir were catapulted into creating one from their own stories.”
