In Your Own Back Yard: a memoir workshop
By Michael V. Smith Michael V. Smith is a Canadian novelist, poet and filmmaker, originally from Cornwall, Ontario and now living in Kelowna, British Columbia. His debut novel, Cumberland, was nominated for the Books in Canada First Novel Award in 2002 In a series of exercises and group discussions, new or developing writers are invited to explore memoir writing. What to write about? How do you start? Who is that narrator doing the telling and who am I in relationship to them? What are the best practices for telling my story? How much of my story do I have the right to tell? Memoir writing can be amazing, freeing work. But it's work all the same. Spend a couple hours thinking--and writing--your own life stories. Where? Penticton Art Gallery, Tea room 199 Marina Way, Penticton BC When? Saturday March 2, 2019 from 10:00 AM to 12 Noon To register: This event is free and is sponsored by The Federation of BC Writers.
