Memoir Writing Workshop: Palm of the Hand

Tuesday, October 27th, 2:00-4:00 pm

Free to participate.

Pre-registration is not required. Open to all levels of writing.


Palm of the Hand Writing Workshop: ‘Everyone has stories to share and many people have a desire to write about their life. Wanting to write and doing so are two different things. The immensity of such a project can overwhelm us. This workshop will help to make that desire a reality.


Participants will be introduced to a method I call “Palm-of-the-Hand” writing, after the “Palm-of-the-Hand” stories of Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata. After deciding on story possibilities, the method helps focus the writer’s energy
into completing short individual pieces about their life.


These workshops have been very successful in helping people
to write extensively about their life experiences – whether
for family members or to someday be published in a book.”
