Workshop #3

Writing Your Life Story

Six night’s accommodation at Copper Beech House in Masset on Haida Gwaii, and the chance to spend five days getting a start on writing your personal life story, the memoir you’ve always wanted to write but didn’t know how to begin.

She brings to the experience over thirty-five years of teaching creative writing workshops in every genre.  

All you do is:

 

  1. Email or phone Susan to arrange a time that works for you, any time between October and April
  2. Bring a photograph – one of yourself or of someone you love (more than one person is absolutely acceptable!), one that resonates for you and one you could use as a jumping off point to tell your story
  3. Book your flight (and don’t forget to bring your photograph!)

 

Price: $2,500
