Writing Your Life: Adding Your Personal Touch with Nisha Patel

Please note all times listed are Saskatchewan time.

 

Writing Your Life: Adding Your Personal Touch

In this workshop, Nisha Patel will lead writers to focus on and mine their own experiences as a prime inspiration for writing compelling, meaningful work centering their own voice. Using writing prompts and a variety of storytelling techniques, writers will be encouraged to catalogue multiple ideas for new work and pursue them, with guidance. Examples of compelling personal writing will also be examined and studied as sources of research to pursue our own voice. 

Registration is required through Zoom -- https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YnTEBYEZRzikmL6i7LJiCw
