Telling the truth: how to write about your life, for you and for others.

Everyone has a story. But before we tell it to others, we must tell it to ourselves. This session explores how we can begin to write the truth about our lives, where to start, and how to take care of yourself as you do. Whether you’re documenting everyday moments, processing difficult life events, or capturing family stories, we’ll discuss how to create a rich archive of thoughts, feelings, and memories. We’ll also look at how to begin to share your story, through blogs, Substacks or social media. The session is ideal for those curious about memoir, and a welcome space for writers at any stage. Come with your pen and your notebook.
