Writing and Editing Childhood Memoirs with Carolyn Redl
Has anyone ever told you, “You’ve had a very interesting childhood. You should write a book”? Or have you been asked to edit a memoir, but you don’t know where to begin? If so, the Editors BC January seminar is right for you.
This six-hour seminar provides an introduction to memoir writing and editing. Throughout the day, you’ll complete exercises that will make your own childhood experiences come alive. You’ll explore ways to organize events into stories using description and dialogue. You’ll hear editing hints for developing themes, settings, and personalities associated with childhood. By the end of the day, you’ll have written a draft chapter of your memoir!
For over thirty years, Carolyn Redl has taught workshops on memoir writing for colleges, universities, and various organizations. She lives in Victoria and is the author of travel articles, short stories, and her own memoir, A Canadian Childhood.
