From Journal to Story with Lorna Rose-Hahn

Write on the River and Lorna Rose-Hahn present, "From Journal to Story: Writing for resilience, writing your life."

This hybrid event will be hosted in-person at Class with a Glass studio in Wenatchee and streamed via Zoom for registered attendees.

About the workshop This workshop works to build a bridge from journal to memoir. Through journaling, we lay claim to our experiences. Through memoir, including personal essay, we tell our story as a form of art. In this course, we explore how to turn those journal entries into a story. We will discuss how we find resilience through journaling, how to make sense of your story and how to tell your story in an artful way.

Geared toward new writers of nonfiction, but all are welcome.
