Collooney

27 August 2012 - 30 August 2012

A 4 day residential memoir writing retreat in a 14th Century castle set in the heart of W.B. Yeats countryside amidst 500 acres of secluded woodlands and gardens. This writing retreat is for writers that want to tap into life experiences and write memoir, or to use those experiences to translate into fiction. Facilitated by Irene Graham, author of The Memoir Writing Workbook, this workshop shows you how to develop and integrate significant life memories with narrative as you weave the elements of memoir writing within a creative structure. Using right-brain/left-brain writing techniques you will discover and enhance your unique writing voice, explore theme, subject and its associated meaning as you learn how to focus your memoir. You will discover how to use and incorporate your retrospective voice into your writing and how to engage with truth in the writing of creative non-fiction.
