Do you have a story lurking in your family history that won’t let you go? Join author, journalist and lawyer Cynthia Banham to learn how to turn those unearthed family secrets into a story that will thrill readers and expand your own understanding of your past.
Where do you start? How do you write honestly even when the subject matter is difficult? And what happens if the story you think you’re looking for turns out not to be the one you find? This hands-on workshop explores the unexpected joys and challenges of a well-researched memoir, and the pitfalls to watch for along the way.
