Writing Your Memories: “Three Weddings and a Funeral”
Monthly Virtual Writing Workshop with author Maria Giura

Saturday, May 10, 2025 from 10am to noon

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, that focus on weddings and/or funerals. 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 Spring Writing Workshops: April 12: Italian Towns/American Spring, which is generative—you’ll write new material—and June 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.”
