Life writing—it's interesting, it's important and it's challenging!

This workshop is for you, if:

- You are working on (or thinking about) a memoir, true story, or personal essay,
- You are embarking on the life-writing adventure for the first time,
- You are underway with a manuscript, or with a revision.

You will spend the afternoon writing a lot and talking a little, in exercises designed to help you get things moving, find your voice, find out what you're really writing about, and focus your project. The workshop will also cover the ethical questions of writing and publishing true stories. All in the salubrious company of other writers.

Jane Silcott is a writer and teacher at the UBC Writing Centre and the SFU Southbank Writing Program. Her writing has been published in Geist and other literary magazines and has been recognized by the CBC Literary Awards, the National and Western Magazine Awards and the Creative Nonfiction Collective of Canada. Jane's debut collection of personal essays, Everything Rustles, is available this spring from Anvil Press.
