Write Your Story: Memoir Mapping with Baraboo Writers Blast

Write Your Story: Memoir Mapping with Baraboo Writers Blast
Everyone has a story worth telling. In this supportive workshop, we’ll explore memoir through mapping exercises that help you chart the turning points, emotions, and connections that have shaped your life. These gentle, creative tools make it easier to see the patterns in your experiences and begin shaping them into writing you can build on.
This is not a lecture — it’s a welcoming, inclusive space where you’ll be guided step-by-step. Whether you’re brand new to writing or already working on a memoir, you’ll find encouragement here. As a writer with a Master’s in English and Creative Writing, I’ll provide prompts, handouts, and guidance drawn from my own practice and schooling to help you find clarity and confidence in your storytelling.
