ONLINE WORKSHOP: MWF x WV Workshop Program: Writing Through Trauma in Memoir

Details

This workshop will take place online. Detailed instructions for participation will be provided.

How do we reckon with trauma in our writing? How can writing memoir be an opportunity to understand how our experiences have shaped us? Discover what it means to explore vulnerability in your writing with author and inaugural winner of The Horne Prize, Anna Spargo-Ryan.

In this workshop, you'll discover how to write about trauma with nuance, humour and compassion and how to blend memoir with analysis to talk about difficult subjects in novel ways.
