El Cuaderno Azul online seminar by Juan Sklar

With the right craftsmanship, tools and tricks, we can bring the dramatic relevance out of a personal experience and make it flourish into a tale of its own that connects with the universal topics of literature.

El Cuaderno Azul presents its “Autobiographical Writing Seminar”, a 3 day online creative experience directed at any person who would like to turn their personal experiences into stories. What voice should tell your tale? Which facts will need to be altered to bring out the raw emotions within your story? How do we even begin to write about something that aches us deeply?

The seminar spans 3 classes, each one including:

live writing with exercises and games,

a short dissertation and discussion of tenets and techniques for working with autobiographical material,

a feedback section where participants share some of their productions,
