Writing the Stories of Your Life with Catharine H. Murray

On Saturday, October 26^th, join M.F.A., author, poet, and writing guide Catharine H. Murray for a free memoir-writing workshop: “Writing the Stories of Your Life with Catharine H. Murray.” This workshop will take place from 1:30-3:30 in the Library’s 1^st floor Jeanne Couture Room.

“Writing the Stories of Your Life” provides the tools you need to tame the chaos of memory into the order and beauty of memoir. Writing exercises, lecture, and discussion will open the door to knowledge and inspiration for writing your own memoir. The workshop is open to anyone who wants to write and has a story to tell.

Catharine H. Murray’s recently released memoir, Now You See the Sky (Akashic Books, 2018), has been described as “a tender, love-filled story” by Kirkus Review and “an extraordinary memoir, forthright, honest and haunting” by the Portland Press Herald. In January of this year, it topped their best-seller list for Non-Fiction.

Venues for Murray’s workshops and talks have included Harvard University, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Hasbro Children’s Hospital, Maine State Prison, Virginia Festival of the Book, and the University of New England.
