Huddersfield Literature Festival: Celebrating Life Stories (workshop)

Celebrating Your Life Stories is a two-hour, in-person creative non-fiction writing workshop run by Juliet Thomas as part of the Huddersfield Literature Festival. The session introduces participants to creative non-fiction and focuses on celebrating joyous and defining life moments.

Juliet Thomas (Creative Coach and founder of From Seed To Sky) leads reflective and practical writing exercises to help attendees develop uplifting personal pieces. The workshop includes an intro to creative non-fiction with published examples, partner ice-breakers, a micro-writing task (up to 250 words), and work on beginning a longer piece such as a blog or article.

Participants may share their writing if comfortable. Refreshments are provided during the session. No prior writing experience is required; the event is described as welcoming and life-affirming.
