In this three-hour masterclass you will have the chance to dive into memoir writing with author Nikesh Shukla. This masterclass will explore techniques to address personal heritage and identity in your writing. Nikesh’s recent memoir Brown Baby has been described as ‘fizzing with humanity, life and light’. Written addressed to his daughter, Brown Baby explores themes of racism, feminism and the legacy and memory of his mother.
