Upcoming Salon events
March Write-ins | Mondays, 12-1pm via Zoom
Bring whatever writing projects you have on the go and settle in for a peaceful hour of writing in the company of others. Visit the event page for the link to join our next write-in on 31 March.
April Write-ins | 28 April, 12-1pm via Zoom
We're taking a little pause from our write-ins, to recharge and refresh, but we'll be back on Monday 28 April at our usual time, 12-1pm. Whether you've got a project you're working on or just enjoy writing in the company of others, come along for a quiet, congenial hour writing. Visit the Salon to join in.
What to Include in Your Memoir (And What to Leave Out) | with Kirsty Logan | 30 April, 5-7pm via Zoom
Putting real life onto a page is a process of transformation: taking a lifetime of detail and character, and shaping it into a coherent narrative. Let award-winning memoirist and novelist Kirsty Logan help you figure out what to include – and what to leave out. Visit the event's page in the Salon to register.
The 'Memoirisation' of Time | with Lily Dunn | 13 May, 5-7pm via Zoom
One of the defining features of memoir is what Phillip Lopate calls the 'dual perspective' of the voice of 'then' with the voice of 'now', looking back and reflecting on that experience with hindsight and all you've come to understand. In this workshop Lily will help you to identify how other writers have dealt with time jumps in their memoirs, to better control your own. Visit the event's page in the Salon to register.
