Summary:
People often think a memoir must go from A to B in a timeline that marches with a calendar. In this innovative memoir workshop Kris Kneen will take you through a different process of structuring your memoir.Details
The work will be a weaving of several different stories across different timelines that are organised by a unifying theme. This method is more like making a basket than building a wall and allows the author to highlight connections and repetitions that would be lost using any other method. This is a method that Kris has used successfully in their three memoirs; Affection, The Three Burials of Lotty Kneen and Fat Girl Dancing. It is a method that frees the author from the straightjacket of linear time and allows you to chase a theme through different parts of a life.
