ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free memoir writing workshop with author Elizabeth Doan on Friday, April 13 from 10:00 to 11:00 AM. Have you ever thought of writing your memoir, but didn’t know how to get started? Would you like to be able to leave a narrative of your experiences for your family and friends? Would you like to tell them what it was like to live in the world when you were a child, or how important events in your life unfolded, or the meaning and wisdom you have acquired from the life you have lived so far? This presentation will explain what a memoir is and how to get started writing one. There is an established link between writing about stressful experiences and improved health, including reduced anxiety and lower stress hormones. Writing about personal experiences also allows individuals to put events into perspective and create a sense of mental order and calm.
Elizabeth Doan is a published author who writes novels for young people and adult historical romance novels. She has an MFA in creative writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts and is currently contracted for two upcoming novels.
This event is free and open to the public. Reservations are required on the Adult Events Calendar at www.phoenixvillelibrary.org or call 610-933-3013 x132. Phoenixville Public Library is located at 183 Second Avenue, Phoenixville, PA.
