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

Through guided writing exercises and shared storytelling, discover the moments and experiences that shape your personal narrative. Whether you’re writing for yourself, your family, or a broader audience, this workshop will help you get started, uncover key themes in your story, and bring meaning to your memories.

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.
