Writing your heart out with Deborah Shepard
An introduction to the art and craft of memoir
|
Applications for Writing Your Heart Out memoir classes close
next week. The workshops will be led by author, film and art historian, and
life writing mentor Deborah Shepard.
There will be six memoir classes in the series, which will be
held at the Michael King Writers’ Centre in Devonport starting in September.
The programme is designed for people who have never written before and want
to tell their story, and people who already enjoy writing and want to begin
writing memoir or to improve their life writing. It will have an intensive
small-group format.
The classes will start on September 23 and will run to October
28. They will be each Tuesday evening from 6 pm to 8.30 pm at the Michael
King Writers’ Centre. The cost is $230 incl GST and the course will be
limited to nine participants.
Deborah is the author of Reframing
Women: A History of New Zealand Film (Harper Collins,
2000), Between the
Lives: Partners in Art (Auckland University Press, 2005)
and Her Life's
Work (Auckland University Press, 2009) and a journal soon to
be released, Giving
Yourself to Life: A Journal of Pain, Hope and Renewal (Calico Publishing).
Deborah held the Autumn Residency at the Michael King Writers’
Centre in 2013 and she has extensive experience in teaching memoir.
