Exploring Memoir or An Imperfect History of Reservoir

A writing workshop with Reservoir’s best-known writer Barry Dickins. This workshop will focus on the notion of memoir and creative non-fiction through writing about experiences of Reservoir. Barry is passionate about both the spoken and written word, as well as his hometown of Reservoir. In this masterclass style workshop, Barry will inspire others to write about the ordinary, and the not so ordinary, aspects of life in Reservoir. In the workshops, participants will use writing as a means of exploring a sense of ‘place’. Participants may be aspiring professional, semi-professional or amateur writers. Those with a great story to tell but little or no writing experience will also be most welcome. Places are limited and reservations are essential. Ph: (03) 8470 8593
