Life Writing & Memoir Workshop with Giovanna Iozzi
Over 6 weeks, we will explore how to shape and structure our writing in a compelling and novelistic way. We will learn ways to hook our readers into our story and investigate what is meant by a strong voice in memoir, how stylistic devices like dialogue, scene building, setting description, and suspense creates a vivid world the reader can disappear inside. Students will have the chance to workshop extracts of their writing each week. All levels welcome.
