Part 6 – Readers connect most deeply when authors share not just their stories, but also the lessons they've learned along the way. In this workshop, you'll explore how to reflect sincerely and truthfully on your life experiences—drawing meaningful comparisons, offering insights and showing how your past has shaped who you are today, for better or worse. By linking your past to your present throughout your writing, you’ll create a powerful emotional thread that resonates with readers.
Jing Li, a Montaigne Medal Finalist recognized by the Eric Hoffer Book Award for her thought-provoking memoir The Red Sandals, will guide you through this impactful writing technique. Whether you're refining your craft, discovering your purpose as a storyteller, or building confidence writing in English as a second language, Jing’s warm and accessible approach will help you find your voice. You'll leave with tools to shape your ideas, develop a strong theme and bring your unique story to life.
Hot tea will be provided.
