Estelle Ford-Williamson
The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host a hybrid (in-person and online) writing workshop led by local author Estelle Ford-Williamson on Tuesday, June 27, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Writing Family Stories 2 is a continuation of a class offered in February; but previous participation is not required for this workshop.
Family stories require a balance of remembrance, research, and trust in the storytelling process. This course will enable writers with varying levels of experience to start (or continue) the process with a goal of completing a project in the fall. Estelle will discuss Beginning the Stories, Finding Structure in Your Many Tales, Publication, and What to Do after Publishing the Stories, as well as a round-robin sharing of work by workshop participants with instructor feedback.
The workshop is limited to 15 participants, with options for both in-person and remote (Zoom) attendance. $45/person. Learn more and register in advance at
