Is there a place somewhere that you are extremely familiar with and that occupies a special spot in your heart? Whether this space still physically exists or not, are you inspired to write a memoir about it so as to commemorate its significance and for others to read and treasure? If you are uncertain about how to structure and write down your reflections in a manner that will be fascinating and meaningful for your readers, then Local Ties is just the memoir workshop for you.
In five sessions (starting 21 Nov), experienced writer, editor and storyteller Verena Tay will guide you on how to: 1) brainstorm the content and arc of your memoir; 2) craft character, setting, scenes, dialogue, theme, flow and pace. Participants will also get to personally hear from Boey Kim Cheng, author of the memoir Clear Brightness.
