Memoir Writing Course
9 - 13 September 2009
Help and inspiration for those who want to write about their own lives for themselves, their family or for a wider audience.
Tutors:
Helena Drysdale - Helena has a History of Art degree from Cambridge which led to her first job as Co-editor of ARTSCRIBE magazine. Besides her journalism for many national newspapers, journals and glossy magazines she has published 6 books of memoirs which explore her travels and family history. (‘Looking For George’, ‘Strangerland’)
She has taught on Skyros and Arvon courses and at present is a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Exeter University.
Ziyad Marar (writer, philosopher and psychologist) Ziyad is interested in how philosophy and psychology can contribute to a better understanding of modern identity. He will lead discussion groups that feed into Memoir Writing, encouraging people to examine the complexities and ambiguities of modern life.
His first book was ‘The Happiness Paradox’, his second ‘Deception’. His next book will be on intimacy.
He ran discussion groups on Ways With Words courses in Italy which were hugely popular and great fun.
From 10am - 5pm each day the writing workshops, talks, discussion groups on memoirs and memoir writing - and long, lavish lunches - will take place in the comfort and tranquility of our farmhouse in the north Dordogne area.
This is a non-residential course so participants will either have, or will need to find, their own accommodation. Ways With Words can provide information about places to stay nearby.
Cost: £580pp (Terms and Conditions apply - see Brochure Download)
