Tell Me More! - A Memoir Writing Workshop for Self-Discovery

Through guided writing exercises and shared storytelling, discover the moments and experiences that shape your personal narrative. Whether you’re writing for yourself, your family, or a broader audience, this workshop will help you get started, uncover key themes in your story, and bring meaning to your memories.

​

This is a  supportive, no-pressure group  where you can explore writing in a welcoming space alongside others who may be new to the craft. As the  first workshop of its kind at MakeHaven , we’re excited to explore the creative process together, opening up the possibilities of what it means to tell a story.
