Writing Workshop #3 Mining for Memoire with Kate Marshall Flaherty

The Heliconian Writing Workshops 2026

Mining for Memoire with Kate Marshall Flaherty 

Tuesday, August 11, 2026 from 1-4 pm - Mining for Memoire with Kate Marshall Flaherty 

Back by popular demand, a new memoire writing program with Kate Marshall Flaherty. Kate is an award-winning poet, playwright and author. She has published seven poetry books and many creative non-fiction essays, had one play produced at the Great Canadian Theatre Co. and is working on a memoire. She has been published in CV2, Vallum, Grain, Room, Trinity Review, The Literary Review of Canada, Event and Tamarack Review and others. She gives memoire workshops online and in libraries and community centres. She guides StillPoint Writing and Editing Circles in person and online. Memoire is a magical platform for self-discovery. Prompts like an object or a photograph can stimulate memories that transport us back to the past and shed light on the present. Kate guides participants using the AWA method, which provides a safe space for taking writing risks and where each unique voice is valued.
