“In our workshops we will explore ways to access memory using a range of triggers and writing techniques.We will read examples of memoir writing and think about the issues that arise in any memoir project:consideration of those whose lives intersect in our stories; how research might help the project; the options we have in terms of form and voice; issues of truth and fictionalisation. You may work in prose or poetry, and you do not need to have written memoir before, or you may be in the midst of writing one. “
