Lily Dunn

A writing workshop with Lily Dunn - The Mancunion On a cold Autumn morning, I attended a writing workshop with author Lily Dunn, putting the advice in her book Into Being to good use

Huge thanks to Jessie from The Mancunion Books team for this write up of @lilydunn.bsky.social's memoir workshop in Manchester last month.

From the heart of your experience
You can birth writing
In line with your values
A tapestry made with faith
harnessing the therapuetic

"Find meaning in raw experience & elevate the personal to the universal"
