In our February Roundtable, Sharon Lippincott is going to talk about her research and insights about the nature of memory—an important topic for memoir writers—and we look forward to your questions and response to the questions and issues you have about memory in writing memoir.
This is a free event and open to the public. Sign up at the bottom of the page to get call info and replay.
Topics will include:
- How do you remember what you remember?
- Do you do research to support your memories?
- What about family input – who’s right?
- Do you and your family and friends remember things very differently?
Join us for this discussion that sparks many articles and debates in the memoir writing community. Google such authors as Vivian Gornick, Mary Karr, Jennifer Lauck, Kathryn Harrison to read what they have to say about memory and memoirs.
