Saturday, May 31, 2026, 9:30 am to 11:30 am Marjorie Simmons Spring Into Memoir - Finding the Life Story you Need to Write Everyone’s life story is different, and everyone has a different reason to write memoir. Often, the place where need and desire intersect, is the place where the most beautiful memoirs are created. Why do you need to write a memoir? Let’s discuss motivation and our individual superpowers, which also support our storytelling. What is behind the compelling need to share our life journeys, and our deep desire to create something meaningful, resonant, and of universal interest? Join us, and let’s talk about finding the memoir you need to write. |
