How can we bring, most powerfully, our ‘sources’ (and I include lived experience as a source) into our life-writing? You will explore the different ways you could use letters, artefacts, and the work/words of others to give authority and energy to your narrative. I talk about the complex questions you might want to ask about the survival of sources, and their reception, and ask: do you want these questions to be part of the story you are telling?
