In this exciting new workshop, Truth of Non Fiction, author Helena Pastor – Wild Boys - A Parent’s Story of Tough Love” – will help guide you, and share her valuable tips for bringing out the beauty, pain, and emotional truths of writing memoir.
“A memoir without heart doesn’t work,” Helena says. “If you ‘hold back’ when writing memoir, your story will lack emotional truth which will lead to problems with focus and structure.”
Helena lives in Armidale, and is the author of Wild Boys—A Parent’s Story of Tough Love.
Her writing has attracted two Australian Society of Authors’ Mentorships, along with residencies at Varuna Writer’s House, Bundanon, and Booranga Writer’s Centre.
She has been teaching creative writing workshops to both beginners and more experienced writers since 2010, and co-hosts “Relax & Write: Yoga and Writing Retreats for Women” at Evans Head. Helena is also a songwriter and lyricist. She completed a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of New England in 2016.
The workshop is on Sunday May 27, from 11am to 2.30pm at The Hub, upstairs Tamworth City Library. Cost $75 New England Writers’ Centre members, $85 non-members. Book online.
