Write Your Rural Story, with Georgia Green Stamper
This 2-day workshop is designed for those who are beginning to collect and write their personal stories of family and rural places. Georgia Green Stamper will lead these sessions at The Berry Center’s Agrarian Cultural Center. Participants will have the option to submit their final pieces for inclusion in The Berry Center Archive and for possible publication in our newsletters.
Stamper will guide the small workshop group in how to collect, write, and shape personal stories. The Berry Center staff members will also provide a glimpse of archival materials on which its mission is based. This workshop is open to twelve participants. Three of the twelve seats are specially reserved for Henry County or Owen County residents.
