If, according to Pat Conroy, the most powerful words in the English language are “Tell Me a Story,” then the most regretful ones are: “I never got Mama’s (or Daddy’s) stories.” This workshop helps you avoid that regret! We’ll cover:
- Beginning the Stories
- Finding Structure in Your Many Tales
- Publication
- What to Do After Publishing the Stories?
Led by an award-winning memoirist and novelist, this workshop is for those who want to put in writing their cache of family legends or happenings, and for those who want to assist their parents or relatives or friends in doing just that. A great holiday gift for a loved one!
This interactive writers workshop will be held as an in-person class at the Pat Conroy Literary Center (601 Bladen St., Beaufort), with an option for remote participants to join via Zoom.
Tuesday, February 28, 5:00-7:00 p.m. Limited to 15 participants. $45/person.
