Stories of where I used to live
Tutor: Alison, writer, writing coach, story collector and teacher
In this series of six sessions, writing coach Alison encourages us to record memories and stories from our past, and collect them together as a book or as audio recordings: a lovely Christmas gift for friends and family. Alison offers creative prompts to spark ideas and memories and allow time to jot down ideas during the session. Alison reads listeners’ snippets and shares ideas for how to turn rough draft notes into finished pieces and how to collect stories together to make a low-cost, much-treasured gift.Preparation
No formal preparation is required but prior to the sessions, participants might like to gather together old photographs to help prompt memories.
