Writing the Family Story You’re Meant to Tell

Speaker: Constance Hays Matsumoto

In this workshop, author Constance Hays Matsumoto shares the unexpected journey behind her historical novel, Of White Ashes, and invites participants to reflect on a family story, crystalize their story concept, identify what moves them forward or holds them back, and prioritize next steps based on their ability and importance to their project.  Combining personal storytelling with guided reflection and practical guidance, this workshop is designed for aspiring writers, family historians, and anyone carrying a story they feel compelled to write.
