Writing Your Memories: Monthly Virtual Writing Workshops with author Maria Giura
No experience necessary: just notebook, pen, and a desire to record the past.
Are there memories you want to write or (family) stories you want to record but perhaps don’t know where to begin or pick up? Maybe you have a piece of writing you’ve already started, and you would like to receive help with constructive feedback? Join us for one, some, or all of these supportive monthly workshops, which will leave you with concrete suggestions to get you closer to the truth of your own stories.
During the generative workshops, you will read short, vibrant excerpts, many written by Italian-American authors, and then you’ll be given prompts to write your own original piece. All are welcome to register. The workshops are held virtually; registered participants will receive Zoom links.
Revision workshops are open to those who have attended at least one Casa Belvedere writing workshop. For these workshops, you will submit in advance a writing piece (maximum 700 words) for constructive feedback.
Saturday mornings 10 am to noon:
