Extensive Biography
More and more people are starting to think about writing their own biography or that of their parents, but they just don’t know how to begin. I can help you to take that first exciting step to get started and to write your memoirs. I have developed a comprehensive writing course which will guide you step by step to your own biography. In this intensive course you will play with words, ideas and memories and as you go on, learn to write your own biography, starting with simple anecdotes and stories and ending by being able to write mature memoirs:
- Telling exciting stories
- Describing characters
- Writing a dialogue
- Describing an atmosphere
- Verbal expression, style and much more all leading up to the finished book
Imagine your biography as a book and the joy it would give your family and friends and succeeding generations who will have an opportunity to get to know you from your memoirs.
With the aid of 101 weekly biography worksheets, with tips, excerpts from different authors, and instructions, your biography will grow week by week. You will receive clear instructions while writing your biography so that it gains in substance and becomes interesting to other people. Furthermore if you have any problems, you can contact me personally at any time, or you can contact Christine who who will be happy to give advice in English. (My advice continues to be greatly appreciated by some of the participants of my writers’ courses which I have been holding for over ten years throughout Germany. Many of my old students still keep in regular contact with me!)
