Thinking about sharing your personal experience in a short comic or full-length book?

This 3-hour workshop will introduce you to writing a graphic memoir and is packed with drawing and writing exercises. You'll learn the basics of composition, focus, viewpoint and story.

People of all drawing abilities are encouraged to join. This workshop is ideal for graphic narrative junkies, graphic narrative newbies, artists, writers and people with an interesting story to tell.

Sarah Leavitt is a writer and cartoonist. Her first book, Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer's, My Mother, and Me, a graphic memoir, has been published in Canada, the US and the UK, and a German edition is forthcoming in May 2013. Sarah holds an MFA in Creative Writing from UBC, but is largely self-taught as an artist and cartoonist. She has taught workshops, developed an introductory university course on comics and reads from her work at numerous festivals.
