The Geography of Childhood (and beyond)
Using Place and Time to Explore Memoir Material
Mapping the Stories of Your Life
Every place we’ve lived leaves its mark. In this workshop, we’ll explore the landscapes of your early years—from the backyard you played in as a child to the environments that shaped your young adulthood. Together, we’ll uncover the memories tied to those places and explore them for the connections that will transform them into stories that matter.
This workshop is for anyone curious about memoir writing—whether you’re experienced, just starting out, or somewhere in between. With prompts inspired by location, we’ll gently guide you to discover and write about the moments that shaped your journey.
Reflect, write, and share in a supportive AWA based space.
Suitable for memoirist, poets, playwrights and fiction writers.
