Success Seminars
How To Self-Publish Your Book
Publish Your Book
Learn how to Self Publish Your Book on Amazon. In this success seminar, we will guide you through the steps needed to take your edited manuscript -Your Memoir, Autobiography, or non-fiction work into a Kindle eBook or paperback.
There is nothing quite so meanful for budding writers, than to see their work in print. Now with technology, you can bypass writing those query letters, hoping to garner an agent’s interest, and dealing with publishing houses that often reject your work time after time, no matter how good it is.
The Writing Salon
Writing Salon
Each season, The Story Guides will host an online live Writing Salon where Guided Autobiography students from all levels, are invited to attend. The free hour will highlight six unique and new stories, that students have written, on a specific theme.
The submitted stories will be posted on this website for writers to gain exposure. This hour will give us a chance to rekindle friendships and refuel the writing fire, while focusing on specific themes like Gratitude, Resilience, Forgiveness and Joy.
Micro Memoir Workshop
“Omission is a Form of Creation”
Creating the 100-word story is a great exercise for Guided Autobiography students to learn to tell the story by what's left out. In this workshop, we will learn how brevity creates a different narrative by telling a story with much omitted. This is an excellent exercise to make every word count, without the pressure of making every sentence perfect. The tiny story borders on poetry and teaches writers how to rip the epiphany out of memory.
One thing the micro-memoir is particularly suited for is an exploration of a moment, particularly a moment that seems small or unimportant, but, when viewed from the right perspective, with the right attention, reveals itself to be central to identity. What are the moments that make us who we are?
The Art of Micro Memoir
In this three hour workshop we will explore the different styles of a Micro-Memoir, learn first hand from a renowned author and lecturer on Micro-Memoirs, and then share our own micro-memoirs that can be used to add texture and variety to your Life Story. All are invited to attend.
Offered once a year Hosted via Zoom.
