Shimmering Images; A Handy Little Guide to Writing Memoir

Presented by
Lisa Dale Norton

Shimmering Images: A Handy Little Workshop for Writing Memoir walks you through the three key steps of writing memoir, whether it be a book or blog: finding your potent memories, figuring out what they mean, and structuring them into a natural flow. We look for what I call shimmering images in memory, get to the heart of what they represent, and then find their innate order. It’s fun and revealing, and you’ll leave with a blueprint for writing your memoir.
