Events › Booktoberfest: Memoir - A Journey of Healing & Discovery with Marjorie Simmins

Please join us for the third of four Booktoberfest workshops, Memoir: A Journey of Healing and Discovery with Marjorie Simmins.

Join author and journalist Marjorie Simmins for a discussion of memoir as a journey of healing and discovery. 

Can writing help you to understand the incomprehensible? Can creating a memoir help you to heal from life’s storms and blows? Where is the intersection of personal and universal, and why is that important to anyone who wants to write a meaningful personal narrative? Should memoirs about grief and loss be done long after the fact, or during the early days? 

Bring a pen and notebook, and we’ll share our ideas about memoir as an opportunity for personal growth and renewal.

Space for this workshop is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

In partnership with the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia
