Writing Workshop: Memories as a Writing Tool

About WorkshopIt's exciting to put your memories into words and use them in writing, even if you don't necessarily want to write a memoir. You can use them to create powerful scenes in, for example, short stories or novels. In this workshop, we use different strategies and tools to write about what we cannot forget.

About the educator Maja Lucas is the author of a number of fiction books, most recently “Tennis Poems” (2026). She is also a PhD in literary science.
