Admission is the price of the book ($23) and includes a copy.
This is Stephen Elliott's first memoir but his seventh book\, all of them written from personal experience. We'll use this book as a jumping off point for more general ideas on writing memoir and some of the problems the memoir writer may encounter. In the talk we'll discuss dealing with family members and friends who may not want to be written about and we'll also go through some writing tips for accessing memories and experiences.
This event costs $23 which includes a copy of the book and 1 ticket to the event. To reserve your spot\, purchase your book/ticket combo here.
