Julie Summers Workshop WORKSHOP: Writing a Life

This is the perfect workshop for anyone wanting to write about their own life or an interesting family member or ancestor. Join the acclaimed contemporary historian as she gives you guidance on writing a family memoir. You’ll take a close look at autobiography, memoir, biography, and creative non-fiction, and discuss how these stories are told and the extent to which this influences what we think we know about our own lives and those of others. There will be opportunities to explore contemporary examples of life-writing that challenge traditional autobiographical and biographical narratives, and the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction.
