Please join us for our annual free National Association of Memoir Writers Spring Tele-Summit on Friday April 8, 2011! At NAMW, we know it’s important to connect with a community of talented writers, marketers, editors, and publishers as you develop your knowledge of writing craft.
The following topics, and much more, will be part of the discussion at the 2011 Spring NAMW

- Which is more likely to be published in a literary journal—creative nonfiction or

- Should memoirists shape their work toward the creative nonfiction genre?
- Is creative nonfiction and personal essay the same thing?
- How did this genre develop?

I think it’s great that y’all are having this AND that it can be listened to after the event, for those of us who need that. Thank you! And thanks especially to Sue William Silverman for posting it on facebook.
Thank you so much for providing this teleconference. Excellent thus far!
I too learned of it via FB/Sue.
What a treat! Thank you for offering this to us out there who have been chugging away at our memoirs! I live in London so being there time wise is difficult so thank you for the link to listen in when I can, GMT time! Really looking forward to it, hoping this will answer my many questions re: my memoir. Many thanks!
Dear Shawn,
Thanks so much for posting. We hope to have the audio links to you in the next 24 hours! Have a great rest of your weekend.
