WRITING WORKSHOPS
Create a Memoir
Unlike an autobiography which chronicles your life,
the memoir is about a slice of your life. It can define time - such as growing
up, college years or family, or special occurrences like holidays, travels or
the cars that reflected who you were. Ingrid is an expert at turning piles of
information into logical reading matter. If writing about your whole life is
too big a task to tackle, pick a favorite life topic and she’ll guide you
through the steps in creating a memoir book to share and enjoy. And yes, your
memoir can include photos, recipes, and journal entries.

NEW
Write with Purpose – Step up to Nonfiction
How-to, self-help, journalism, history, science, and
guidebooks (among others) all have factual content that falls under the
classification of nonfiction - information based on facts. Designed for
writers of all levels, whether you're writing a book or an article, you'll
learn how to organize nonfiction content to deliver your message and establish
yourself as a nonfiction author or Subject Matter Expert (SME).
NONFICTION: biography,
business, cooking, health and fitness, pets, crafts, home decorating,
languages, travel, home improvement, religion, art and music, history,
self-help, true crime, science and humor, psychology, education, personal
development, food writing, creative nonfiction, autobiographies, memoirs,
family and relationships, spirituality, religion, pets.
