Instructor Sage Tyrtle's work is available in New Delta Review, The Offing, Lunch Ticket, and Apex. She is the author of the novella The King of Elkport. Her words have been featured on NPR, CBC, and PBS and have been taught in schools. She's been nominated for Pushcart and Best American Short Stories. Sage has taught storytelling and writing workshops since 2010, including workshops at York University and Toronto Storytelling Festival, in India, Chicago, and Nova Scotia.

Etched Memories is the merry-go-round of body positivity, and you’re invited.

This one-time Zoom seminar promises to be a quirky writing adventure led by Sage Tyrtle, who was born with a cleft palate. Sage will guide you and your fellow story enthusiasts into the power and beauty of writing about and into our quirks, scars, and birthmarks.

So, hop on the happiness train and let Sage’s positivity give your writing and self-esteem a turbo boost. By the time you’re done, you’ll see your body as a canvas painted with the colors of your life, each quirk and imperfection adding a unique, whimsical twist to your personal masterpiece.

You'll leave the class with at least 3 pieces about your body that you can return to later. So, come along, be silly, and let’s turn our etched memories into a story that’s all about celebrating you. Sage will have you chuckling and embracing your quirks in no time.
