Course Reviews

COURSE:
Memoir Course
REVIEW BY:
Hildegarde le Roux, Cape Town
"It allowed me to write freely without the mind and the Critic interfering.  I feel empowered and realise that I can write.  Sharing was good for me.  The group experience made me feel less alone. Dawn is an inspiration.  Her ideas are phenomenal, the extracts chosen were both thought provoking and  moving.  The creative exercises were very helpful in accessing our own particular memories."

"The writing of my story helped tremendously. It ordered my thoughts and feelings and gave scope for mourning and missing. While  highlighting how lovely it is to have cats around the house! "

REVIEW BY:
Samantha Smirin, Cape Town
"Dawn is a facilitator who is deeply committed to the process she presents. Her knowledge of memoir writing is impressive and the many extracts she presents are read with grace and consideration.She invites participants to engage in exploratory exercises that have certainly allowed me access to the undertow of my work, the true source of creativity.I would highly recommended this process.  You will not come out with a book, but you are bound to know yourself better and gain the confidence to write with gusto moving forward."
