How can you, as a writer, use your memories to connect with readers?

The Royal City Literary Arts Society is hosting workshop by writer Sonja Larsen, author of the award-winning memoir Red Star Tattoo: My Life as a Girl Revolutionary.

Larsen, a graduate of the Simon Fraser University Writers Studio program, received the 2017 Edna Staebler Award for Non-Fiction for the book. Her workshop will look at ways for every writer to draw upon the physical experiences that are part of memory, with writing exercises that will help ground your work and find thematic connections to give your story meaning.

The workshop is on Saturday, March 10 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Anvil Centre, in Room 417. The fee is $15 for members, or $25 for non-members. You can pay and get more information at www.rclas.com.
