Many of us would love to write a memoir, but painting a picture in words can be trickier than we expect! In this lively, interactive and practical taster lecture, Dr Claire Griffiths will guide you through a visual approach to creating your life story.

In this session, we dust off our red pens and step into a line editor’s shoes! We’ll look at our Top 5 tips for fine-tuning prose, be it fiction or creative nonfiction. An inclusive, interactive session, designed for those already writing, our focus will not be on devising or developing work, but on those little details at line level that make a huge difference to our readers’ experience. So, bring along a work-in-progress and see what our editor’s notes can do for you.
