Writing Biography with Aidan Coleman // Got an interesting life story to tell? Your subject might be a figure from history or the present, it may be a family member. This workshop will help you get started: from sketching out basic timelines to re-creating a personality on the page. You will look at samples of good biography writing, as you clarify what exactly you want your biography to be. Is it a family history? Is it for the public record? Is it the next bio-pic (and who will be played by Timothée Chalamet)? You will also consider how to make the most of your research—keeping on top of archives, artefacts, interviews, recordings etc. Through a combination of practical tips and writing activities you will learn how to make your biography informative and entertaining, and you'll visit some of the ethical dilemmas that keep biographers up at night. You will also learn what NOT to do when it comes to interviewing! Many of the skills and techniques you’ll learn will apply to other areas of writing non-fiction.
