About this Course
Everyone has a story to tell and in this 4-week program you will discover tips and motivation to start writing yours. Life Writing is a popular way of documenting life experiences. It can be done for personal satisfaction or may be shared with a broader audience. It is a style of writing that draws on biography, journaling and storytelling, and offers a flexible approach to suit the writer and the story they are wanting to tell. For some people, Life Writing has provided an opportunity to explore and resolve difficult life moments and find their voice. For communities, Life Writing is an opportunity for us all to learn more about the people around us and the unique perspective we bring to our towns.
Whether it’s a single life event, a turning point in your life or your whole life story, Life Writing is a great way to start writing, and mark your place in history.
