About This Event

I'll be part of the writers' conference and Publishing Day to launch the Off the Page Festival!

Come attend this popular and fun introductory class, especially designed for seniors. It's geared for those who are serious about writing their memoirs!

During this in-person session, you’ll learn about memoir writing including a story-based method that helps you write fast and easily.

Get a key TIP that will make your book much more engaging.

Then you'll write a story...and voluntarily share it aloud with a small, supportive group.

So, bring paper (or a notebook) and a pen!

*This session helps you qualify for enrollment in the 4, 8 or 12-week guided Writing Life Story memoir program that begins in September. You'll be writing your most important stories.

**No writing experience needed.

**Sign-ups required.

**Thank you to Selby Library for sponsoring this presentation!

I'm Barbara Field, Founder of Writing Life Stories and I'm dedicated to helping seniors create their memoirs and legacy letters to leave as a legacy to their loved ones. Contact barbara@writinglifestories.com.
