Do you want to learn how to mine your journals for a memoir project? Join writing teacher & author, Sheila Bender and learn how to write your memoir! Next course starts September 7th, 2021.
Do you long to make the leap from writing in your journal to crafting a memoir? Many journal writers have an interest in other forms of life writing, including memoir. But writing memoir is different than writing in a journal. Journals can be a great place to find raw material for your memoir project! But how do you do that? Where do you start? In this 6 week facilitated online workshop (2 hours of class time via Zoom per week), with poet and memoirist Sheila Bender, participating journal keepers will learn how to identify memoir material in their journals and how to journal (at least some of the time) with future memoir writing in mind. Join Sheila and a small group of fellow journalers (yes, that is a word) and aspiring memoir writers in this supportive and accessible online workshop. Space is limited to 8 participants to ensure ample time for workshopping your writing! NEXT COURSE OFFERING - Starts Tuesday, September 7th, 2021 Weekly classes are held on Zoom from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm PST each week of the course. -

Lynda Monk’s class “Transformational Writing for Wellness Salon” was excellent. It is well-structured, the exercises are motivating, challenging, and revelatory. The course helped me find clarity in my life, discover new aspects of myself, and moved me to a new place spiritually. Lynda’s compassionate one-on-one attention as a reader of my writing reflected back to me what I was expressing in my writing. Her feedback was invaluable, and I felt heard. She brought this same attention and compassion to the group as well. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is seeking more clarity in their life quest. ~ Jo Ann Koltyk Register Now for the next Salon!
