BBF22: Writing Memoir - How to Start Your Journey

Writing a memoir helps you find your voice, tell your story, and reach out to others. 

Come along and join us for a workshops with bestselling memoirist Cathy Rentzenbrink as she shows you how to bring your real life stories to the page. 

Suitable for anyone interested in writing a memoir or may already be working on one, this session will provide you with an introduction to tools you can use for gathering and structuring memoir material. 

Cathy Rentzenbrink is an acclaimed memoirist whose books include The Last Act of Love and Dear Reader. In 2021 she published her first novel Everyone is Still Alive. Her book about how to write a memoir is called Write It All Down and is out now. Cathy regularly chairs literary events, interviews authors, reviews books, runs creative writing courses and speaks and writes on life, death, love, and literature. Despite being shortlisted for various prizes, the only thing Cathy has ever won is the Snaith and District Ladies’ Darts Championship when she was 17. She is now sadly out of practice.
