A Practical Introduction to Life Writing 2 - Memoir, Biography and Creative Non-Fiction.

Monday evenings 6.30 - 8.30pm for ten weeks 13th January to 17th March 2025

We all have stories to tell, yet writing non-fiction has its own peculiar difficulties. This course will explore, through examples and practical exercises, the art of writing from life. It provides an introduction to memoir and creative non-fiction using practical exercises designed to develop new writing skills and confidence in voice, tone, style and form of written work.

This course follows on from A Practical Introduction to Life Writing 1, but it is not necessary to have taken Part 1 to join these classes. Early booking recommended.
