Hello and Welcome to Marjorie Simmins, Memoirs and More Memoir Writing Courses, 2011.

I believe each life story has merit and can be a precious legacy and that there are a thousand reasons to write that story. Write for the joy of reminiscing and reflection. Write to heal a tender heart. Write to share your tales with your children, grandchildren and friends. Write to forgive yourself, or others. Write to re-kindle or reveal your own strong, happy voice.

To a reasonable degree, and with sufficient planning time, I can and will Òtailor-makeÓ a memoir writing course for any group's or individual's particular needs. To some extent, I do this for all courses, using a pre-course questionnaire to assess needs. The questionnaire is completed several weeks before the course begins. I then fine-tune the course offerings accordingly.

I offer courses to the following groups:

*seniors-only;
*all-ages;
*beginning-memoirists;
*advanced memoirists

In 2011, I will be offering courses from time to time throughout the year. Notice will be given on my Facebook page, my blog and the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia's newsletter.
