No one can tell your story like you can, and some of the best stories of our time have come from a writer’s personal experience. But how do we fictionalise our own lives, make sure our stories are entertaining, whilst keeping our authenticity and voice?
This workshop will explore using real-life experiences as source material and how to protect our wellbeing through self-care in the process. Open to all abilities and backgrounds.
