No matter where you live or what you do in life, you have a story.
We want to hear it.
CBC Saskatchewan is inviting people interested in telling personal stories about life-changing moments to join us at creative writing workshops. Over the course of May, we will offer four free in-person sessions on Tuesday evenings at Regina's CBC Broadcast Centre. We'll help identify the core of your story, work it out and tell it in writing.
This is not about writing a memoir. We want to hone in on one life-shifting thread in your story — an experience that gave you a new perspective, a kindness you can't forget or a challenge you pushed through.
Pick a workshop and try to make it to all four free sessions. We'll have small writing challenges to help you build your story week by week and give you personal feedback. We'll talk about where to begin, how to use key anecdotes and when a splash of colour can make your story come alive.
Don't worry if your English isn't perfect. We're there to support you. By the end, you should have a rough draft you're proud of and, if you like, you can pitch it to CBC Saskatchewan as a freelance contributor to our First Person series. We're hoping you might!
Interested? Fill out the form below. If you have any questions or would like to register, email community engagement producer Janani Whitfield at janani.whitfield@cbc.ca.
