Are you thinking of writing up your memories of life with the military?

Did you or a member of your family serve in the Forces?

Have you thought of writing a memoir?

If so, we can help.

Whether you served in the Forces yourself, spent time in a military family or would like to know more about relatives who did, we are pleased to offer an afternoon on the value of memoir-writing for military personnel and their families.

Recording a personal history does not have to be for wider sale, just knowing it exists can be a huge comfort. And nor does it have to be the service person who writes it up – the partner and children of Forces families all have interesting stories to tell. What is more, research among those who have been through the process have confirmed that they experienced significant personal benefits: to their health and wellbeing, as well as comforting knowledge that the story they have held in their heads for so long will survive.

We will offer:

· First hand testimony of those involved

· Information on how to start writing

· Guidance on how to store and preserve your material for the future

· Details of how to prepare information for a publisher, if that’s what you want to do

What the price includes: All handouts and notes from the day, refreshments, and a free copy of an ebook on how to write a family memoir.
