Presenter– Deborah Joy Corey
Every life holds many stories. This workshop will serve as a starting point for each participant to shape a particular life story, or to begin a longer piece with the goal of a completed memoir. Through readings, prompts, and discussions, Deborah Joy Corey will guide participants in finding their true voice for telling their story. On completion of the workshop, each writer will have a solid beginning, so that they may continue on their own. Both new and experienced writers are welcomed.
