**Nuts & Bolts of Memoir Writing – A Special Workshop with Sylvia Clare**
Whether you’re just beginning your memoir or deep in the process, this workshop will ground you in the essential elements that help transform life stories into compelling, emotionally resonant narratives.

Longtime group member and author of five memoirs, **Sylvia Clare**, will guide us through key questions every memoirist must ask:

* Why are you writing your story—and who is it really for?
* How do you craft an opening that grabs your reader?
* What makes a character (even yourself) feel real on the page?
* How do you handle difficult emotions, backstory, and dialogue with honesty and grace?

Sylvia blends practical advice, literary insight, and lived experience. Her talk includes:

* Writing tools and structural tips
* Emotional depth and voice
* Memorable examples from memoir classics
* Writing prompts & time for questions

**This event is donation-based.**
