Memoir Writing Workshop

Finding Your Authentic Voice

Enjoy a luxurious three-night escape at Swinton Park Hotel Monday 12th until Thursday 15th October, in partnership with Steve Harvey. Experience all the Swinton’s Estate has to offer with exceptional Estate to Plate dining.

If you have ever thought about writing your memoirs or you want to write about your life for your children, your grandchildren, or just for yourself, this is your opportunity to make a star. Everyone has a story to tell, and Steve Harvey will help you to develop yours.

Steve, whose memoirs, Between Dreams: Difficult Paths and Dangerous Places, were launched in 2016 at Blackwell’s in Edinburgh, will be your mentor. Find out more about our workshop leader here.

Throughout your stay you will have dinner each evening with Steve and the other members of the workshop.  Each day you will have sessions led by Steve to inspire ideas with free time for you to write. As well as access to the Country Club & Spa and  Parklands & Gardens from 3pm on day of check-in until 11am on day of check out

If you’re booking a room for two, a supplement of £100 per person, per night applies when both guests attend the workshops.
