Writing a memoir can feel like an overwhelming task. You’ve lived a lot of life and it’s not easy deciding which parts to include in your story — not to mention how to open up, get vulnerable and grab readers’ attention. In this accessible and engaging hour-long introduction to memoir writing, celebrated author and writing coach Kern Carter will teach you how to find your voice, how to identify the parts of your life worth sharing and how to ensure that your memoir connects emotionally with readers. Building off his own experience as a teen father and high school dropout who ultimately graduated from university and built a successful writing career, Kern’s inspiring and uplifting approach to telling your story will have you ready to bare your soul on the page — whatever your background and experience level. You’ll learn how to capture the essence of who you are while telling a story people want to read and editors want to publish.
This seminar is right for you if:
You’ve been thinking about writing a story about your own life but don’t know how to get started.
You’ve begun writing a memoir but have hit some road blocks.
You’re a recent high school grad or a 90-year-old retiree! Wherever you are in life, if you have a story you want to tell, this class will help kickstart the writing process.
