SUMMARY:Life Writing and Memoir Workshop with Giovanna Iozzi
DESCRIPTION:“You must write a memoir as if you’re writing a novel,
  you have to give it a shape.” Blake Morrison\nOver six weeks, you w
 ill learn all about the popular and compelling memoir form with useful
  writing exercises, guidance, tips and ideas which will help you ident
 ify your own themes as well as recalling key memories and events for y
 our own life-writing material. This course is designed so that all lev
 els of writer will be inspired and benefit from each session – wheth
 er you’re completely new to life-writing, or you already have a memo
 ir project on the go.\nAs well as reading a range of strong and divers
 e memoir writers, you will gain insights on: how to develop your own v
 oice on the page; how to hook readers into your story; how to use fasc
 inating and relatable details about your life to keep up the pace and 
 maintain page turnability.\nYou will begin to understand how novelisti
 c devices like dialogue, scene-building, setting, summary, interiority
  and tension can help to create a vivid world the reader disappears in
 side.\nHalf of each session will be given over to students to receive 
 valuable, supportive feedback on their work. Students will also be abl
 e to share extracts of memoir projects they are already working on.\nW
 e will read extracts from great examples of the form including: Carmen
  Maria Machado, Audre Lorde, Jeanette Winterson, Deborah Orr, Patti Sm
 ith, Viv Albertine, Deborah Levy, Chimamanda Adichie Ngozi, Tim Lott, 
 John Burnside, Nadia Osuwu and Lemn Sissay.\nAll levels welcome. Zoom 
 Delivery, Cost £140 .\nSummer: Mornings; Tuesdays 10.30am-1pm, June 6
 , 13, 20, 27, July 4, 11.\n\nFor more information visit https://harrin
