Writing Your Memories Winter Edition: Monthly Virtual Writing Workshop with author Maria Giura
Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026 from 10 am to noon via Zoom
$20 Members, $30 Non-Members
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? Join us for this supportive generative workshop during which we’ll read short, vibrant excerpts, many written by Italian American authors, and then you’ll be given prompts to write your own original piece. You’ll leave this workshop with concrete suggestions to get you closer to the truth of your own stories.
(And don’t miss our other two Winter Writing Workshops: January 17, which is generative—you’ll write new material–and March 14 which is revision!)

What Participants Have to Say:  
  • “The [short] readings were spot-on, serving as entry ways into lively discussions but also inspiring our own original writing. Brava!”
  • “I just loved the opportunity to read, write, and, if I wanted to, share. These workshops brought back memories that were tucked into the recess of my mind and deepened my interest in reflecting and writing about my culture.”
  • “I’ll take these workshops again and again. So lovely to meet so many nice, new people.  Excellent, skilled, and inspiring instructor.”
