I am an incurable memoir addict. I love reading it, teaching it, and writing it. Here you will find stories from a life, but you will also learn how to write it, and how memoir can be transformative beyond the page.
Most of what I post here is typed on one of my many old manual typewriters.
A global top 100 life writing publication plus the host of acclaimed memoir and expressive writing group programmes
Mainly a photography journal. And some musings connecting the dots between photos and everyday life.
