Carry on Writing Memoir is an intensive two day workshop with writer and teacher Lynn Jenner.

An intensive two days of workshopping intended for people who have a project underway, are interested in keeping their motivation up, and want to keep on developing their writing style.

A fortnight before the course you will send in up to 1,000 words of your project. This will be shared with the group to read before the first session.

On the course you will bring the group up to date with your project and goals then the group will workshop your piece.

You will get a block of time focused completely on your work.

The course will end with a discussion on challenges and working strategy from here. Reading other people’s work before the course and preparing your feedback on each piece takes place outside of the session and is part of the learning.

Limited to 12 participants.
$150 for two days of tuition and refreshments.
