“A memoir without research is like a house without windows.” -Heather Lanier
Research can provide context and a larger view for your readers. It can also spur memory and inspire metaphors, for you, the writer. In this half day workshop, we will learn ways to make your story more powerful by incorporating research. Join beloved Writing Coach and memoirist Cathy Luna for this informative workshop! Through specific craft exercises, examining published excerpts, generating new work and receiving supportive feedback, writers will practice using research to:
- Identify research topics and sources;
- Mine research for compelling metaphors;
- Recognize and avoid research rabbit holes; and,
- Incorporate research into our writing using different narrative voices.
