Capturing (Difficult) Truth in Memoir


6 sessions, 12 hours total

COURSE OUTLINE

  • Capture your story in a way which will interest others. Learn and use preferred writing styles and techniques such as active voice and ‘show, don’t tell’. Find out why writing your memoir in chronological order only works if you are a celebrity.

  • Unravel the truth without crucifying friends or being sued by your enemies. Define what is ‘truth’ and learn why truth resonates with readers like nothing else can. Discover how to protect yourself when others argue with your version of the truth.

  • Learn when to montage moments and when to go into minute detail. Less is sometimes more and less is sometimes less. Sometimes highlighting the highs and lows is enough, while other times writing all the details, including the who, what, where, when, why and how is vital to writing a truthful story which helps others.

  • Opportunities to read your writing. Rarely do writers get an opportunity to read their difficult truth in a safe and confidential setting – this is one of those rare opportunities.
