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:
