Get Started on That Memoir: A Workshop with Barry Nicholls

Join Barry Nicholls (Second Innings) for an introductory session on writing memoir. Getting started is the hardest part, and this workshop will help you identify your through line (the element that binds the story together), have a go at writing family history and learn how to incorporate your through line into your story.

Ahead of the session, Barry would like you to think of a six-word phrase that encapsulates the main idea of your memoir. For Barry, it’s ‘Playing cricket was easier than life.’ Attendees will also receive a workbook with examples of writing family history. Copies of Barry’s memoir Second Innings will be available for purchase.

The workshop takes place at AH Bracks Library + Creative Space on Tuesday 10 November from 10.30 am–12.00 pm. Tickets are $10 and can be reserved through the City of Melville Libraries website: Get Started on that Memoir | City of Melville
