I have spoken to several people who have expressed interest in writing their stories. They all say that their stories would blow people’s minds. Interestingly, none of these people have even begun to making this happen. I think they were waiting for me to offer to write it. Uh, no.
However, if writing your story is on your bucket list, you can learn how to do so at Chicago Writers Association’s upcoming panel, Memoirs and Personal Essays: The Art of Writing Your Story.
Moderated by Shawn Shiflett, this highly engaging panel of published authors will discuss the process and challenges of writing autobiographical material. They will also share strategies that authors use to effectively make “real life” dramatic on the page.
The panel discussion will be held from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday, November 17, 2018 at Columbia College, 600 S. Michigan, Conference Room 401.
The cost to attend:
$20 for CWA Members & English and Creative Writing Department Staff
$15 for Students with I.D.
$30 for non-Members
Lunch will be served.
