Memoir Writing: Telling Your Own Story, One Moment at a Time

We write our memoirs to preserve our legacy, to help us understand a situation, and to tell a story as only we can. In this workshop, you’ll learn the art of memoir writing, telling your own story, one moment at a time.  

Led by Chris Hicks of Central Florida Community Arts, you’ll dive into memoir writing and explore a variety of prompts that will help you take that first step on your writing journey. 

This program is presented by Chris Hicks and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
