LIFE STORY MASTER CLASSES
A writer and a journalist from a Bayard press title co-host two writing sessions on Zoom around a theme linked to “Life Story”. At the end of the first session and the writing lesson, participants are encouraged to write a text which will be commented on during the second session.
