As part of our continuing celebration of the 98th birthday of our founder, William Kennedy, we're hosting a special online fundraiser: an introductory memoir‑writing class led by author and teacher Marion Roach Smith.
Marion is generously volunteering her time for this workshop in honor of her longtime friend.
All proceeds from the $79 class fee will benefit the NYS Writers Institute.
About the Memoirama class
Memoirama is a lively, interactive, 90‑minute online class designed to give you the tools you need to start writing immediately. The online session will be held 7–8:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 17, and is limited to 30 participants.
The class includes dedicated Q&A time at the end, and will give you the tools you need to get writing immediately. Please join us for what promises to be a wonderful night. (Note: With Eventbrite fees, total cost will be $84.34 per registrant.)
