Option 1.

Jump Start Your Memoir
WRITE IT FROM YOUR HEART
Nancy Slonim Aronie
Jump Start Your Memoir is an inspiring immersion for the beginning writer and is nurturing for the burnt-out professional. Nancy Slonim Aronie, founder of the Chilmark Writing Workshop, creates a safe place where you can dive into writing, discover your own rhythms, use your own language, and tell your own story. Rediscover your authentic voice as we laugh, cry, and write. By week’s end, you will feel more confident and you will have begun to get that untold story out of your body and onto the page. You return home with the motivation and inspiration to keep writing.
