(queer) Who Do You Think You Are? Memoir Writing Workshop

Come and explore the joys and pitfalls of writing about your life and/or your family’s/communities’ history. Deborah Price (The Peanut Factory published by Guts Publishing) has written about the eight years she spent squatting in south London in the late 1970s. Poet Maria Jastrzębska is in the process of writing a memoir based on her mother’s diaries and letters from the Warsaw uprising and early days of communism interwoven with her own experience of growing up as a migrant in 60s London. We’ll be talking and leading some practical exercises to encourage you on your own path. All stages of memoir writing welcome.
