Tell Me More! - A Memoir Writing Workshop for Self-Discovery

This is a supportive, no-pressure group where you can explore writing in a welcoming space alongside others who may be new to the craft. As the first workshop of its kind at MakeHaven, we’re excited to explore the creative process together, opening up the possibilities of what it means to tell a story.

What to Expect

• Timed Writing & Prompts – Structured exercises will help you get words on the page without overthinking.

• Finding Your Narrative Thread – Every life has an arc; we’ll explore what has brought you to where you are today.
• Exploring Sense of Place – Learn to ground your story in vivid locations and moments from your past.
