Bev Hanna is our guest speaker at the Uxbridge Writers' Meeting on Tuesday, November 5.
She will engage us in an interactive exercise called 'Mapping Our Memoirs' that will help us to understand how to use mapmaking to discover our past and to plan an autobiography.
Bev trained as a classical artist in the late 1960s and early 1970s and was a working portrait artist for many years. She was employed in the computer graphics industry in Toronto during the early 1980s.
For several years, Bev exhibited her work, primarily animal portraiture all over Canada and parts of the US.
Until recently, Bev ran a highly successful writers' circle focusing on the craft and techniques of good writing: dialogue, character development, sentence construction, structure and so on. Bev now teaches memoir writing at several local venues and has taken this knowledge online to share with a larger audience.
Bev launched scribblersguild.com aimed at 'more mature' writers who are thinking about writing an autobiography or memoir. The site is full of helpful and motivational gems, but it's also a place to ask questions and to interact with others.
We're looking forward to welcoming Bev to our meeting.
