Transform a memory into a meaningful short story in this eight-week course for photographer-storytellers. For those who have decades of rich experiences (and the photos to prove it) but struggle to share them meaningfully, this course will explore how to use multimedia e-books to accomplish that. Unlike traditional memoir writing, this course will focus on telling a single story as a relationship-building tool. Learn to select a personal experience that inspires, craft a short story that invites reflection, use personal photos and maybe short voice clips to enhance your text and host a follow-up conversation with readers. Come develop these essential skills for your third act. Leave a legacy of shared wisdom and connection that inspires long after your story has been told.
NOTE: Participants need their own late-model laptop (Mac preferred but Windows or Android also work with BookCreator). Participants need to know how to copy and paste between documents, use the audio and video tools built into their laptops and how to access their digital photos. To use the AI prompts from the instructor, participants also need their own Claude AI account (the free version is fine).
