The Memoir Manuscript Class

On Hold 2026

This monthly (10 sessions) workshop-based programme provides participants with ongoing support while they work on a major memoir or poetry writing project and focuses on developing critiquing skills. Every month students will critique or receive feedback at some depth, from the class and the tutor on student manuscript extracts. Tutor and peer feedback enables students to evaluate their own writing while peer support encourages completion of the work. Sessions are monthly to allow students time to present work and to prepare peer critiques. Class is limited to 6 students who have completed the Writing Your Life or Making Fine Poems course. 4 students are required to start the class.

Starts 10. 30 am-12.30 pm Thursday February 20: 45 Sutherland St, Dunedin.

This course is on hold for 2026. If you are interested in joining a manuscript course please email diane@dianebrown.nz
