How to write your Life Story. 6-week course. Westacre Theatre.
Writing your life story is a fascinating project and one that often fires people with enthusiasm. However, it can be tricky to know where to start, how to structure your story, and how to manage narrative flow. You might have written bits and pieces over the years, but they are now hiding in the back of drawers, together with family documents and old, unlabelled photos, never to see the light of day. Perhaps you know precious family stories or have important information that has never been written down?
Camilla Balshaw is an award-winning writer, teacher and mentor. Her classes are personal and friendly, with the sole aim of making writing enjoyable and fun.
Everybody has a story, and over this 6-week course, Camilla will guide you in how to tell yours.

What people say:
Having deliberated about how to start writing my memoir, I found this course to be an excellent place to start. Camilla is a great teacher. She makes everyone feel at ease and enthused. Each session was informative and well thought out, and I can speak for many when I say that the group’s confidence and writing ability improved.
I would highly recommend this course.

I signed up for the course after a friend casually mentioned she was joining, and she asked if I wanted to come along too. I am so pleased I did! Sign up, you won't regret it.

When I first saw the advertisement for the writing course, I was tempted but not confident enough to enrol. I then noticed Camilla was the teacher and decided to take a chance. I was nervous but comforted by the lovely people on the course and the fun Camilla injected into the lesson.
I am now happily writing my memoir for my children and grandchildren and thoroughly enjoying the experience. My confidence is building with the support from the class, and I am very thankful I decided to enrol.
