Memoir Writing with Sheila Quealey – Seven Weeks

Memoir is a literary term that means from memory. Memoir is an account of the author’s personal experiences – it tries to capture certain highlights or meaningful experiences from the past.

Memoir is a unique form of life writing that allows the author to confront and contemplate a significant period in their life and through the creative process share their experience and insights with others.

If you have a life story that you have been waiting to write and if you would like to learn more about the memoir genre and participate in creative writing lessons, contact Friars’ Gate.  Fee €100.
