Get Ready to Write Your Memoir!

• Are you old enough to ‘know some things’? 
• Do people tell you, “You should really write that down”?
• Have you always wanted to leave a written record of your life?
• Are there questions you wish your kids/grandkids/friends/chosen family would ask you, but they never do?

Maybe it’s time to get started writing your memoir. A memoir doesn’t have to be a book, and with the tools in most of our phones, you may not even have to type!

Come spend an hour with author/teacher Rachel Cline and author/publisher Dan Tucker who will lead you through writing, planning, and focusing exercises that have worked for other writers of all ages and levels. Learn why you’re ready to do this thing! Then, develop your ideas into a focused project by refining your goals and audience. Leave with a plan for how you will do the work in the weeks and/or months that follow.

Rachel is a novelist and screenwriter who has taught creative writing at NYU, the New School, Sarah Lawrence, and USC. Dan is a non-fiction writer and publisher at Sideshow Media; he has over 20 years of experience turning ideas into published books.
