Have you ever found a photo in an old book? A shopping list in a drawer, a recipe on the back of a notebook, a box of old postcards at a school fete, an inscription in a book that broke your heart? Kaaron Warren has found these and more, always wondering about the person behind the items. Who were they, and what did these things mean to them? We can tell stories around found postcards, telegrams, menus from cruise ships and more, things that were once important to strangers. These are clues to be built on, lives to be imagined. We’ll examine this ephemera in detail, developing character profiles around them. We’ll write the stories of these forgotten pieces of people’s lives. We’ll make those pages live again.

Participant requirements: writing implements.
