Turning Life into Story: Finding Writing Inspiration in Your Own Experience
Thursday 25 June 2026 at 6:00PM
Dingley
Event Description
Join Alistair Ward for a practical and inspiring workshop on transforming your own life experiences into writing.
Drawing from his own path as a writer and theatre-maker, Alistair will explore how everyday moments, big shifts, and lived experience can become powerful creative material.
Through guided exercises, reflection prompts and discussion, you’ll learn how to uncover meaningful memories, shape them into story ideas, and begin transforming personal experience into fiction, memoir, or even your next script.
The Writers in Residence program is a pilot initiative for 2026, developed as a partnership between Kingston Arts, Kingston Libraries and Dingley Village Neighbourhood Centre, with the aim of growing and expanding the Artist in Residence opportunities available at Kingston.
