Writing Biographies, Autobiographies and Family History

Everyone has at least one story to tell - the story of their life. And it is a story well worth the telling. Quite apart from the immediate interest of family and friends, once written, it is there for all time, a permanent record that will fascinate future generations.

For some people, writing an autobiography can actually make money. For others it will be journey of self-discovery, even self-healing and for most it will prove a particularly satisfying experience.

This course will enable you to shape a diverse and colourful assortment of personal vignettes and stories into a graceful, coherent narrative that conveys the larger story of your life and will stimulate your creativity and get you writing one of the most important stories in the world - YOURS.
