Has this year of pandemic lockdown made you more introspective? Have you always wanted to write a memoir, but did not know how to start?
Noted author, teacher, memoir editor and writing coach Marion Roach Smith is offering “Memoirama,” a 90-minute interactive webinar that will give you the tools to get writing your story immediately.
Marion is a former New York Times staffer and author of four books. She has coached hundreds of very successful writers. She is the author of The Memoir Project: A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text for Writing and Life (Grand Central Publishing).
