A life story memoir writer’s workshop will give participants a chance to tell their own story.

A writing workshop will be held Tuesday, May 26th from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Washington Park Library, 1821 North 3rd Street.

Charley Kempthorne, author of For All Time: A Complete Guide to Writing Your Family History, will be conducting the workshop along with his wife, June.

The workshop will be held for 2 hours and include: discussion, demonstration, writing and sharing of memoir and family history.

Attendees will learn basic narrative writing techniques, journal writing, creating extended captions for family photographs and publishing your history for family and friends.

“Everyone can write stories,” Kempthorne insists, “and often the ones who have the least training as writers do the best job.”

The workshop is free, but space is limited.
