Upcoming Events
Monthly Memoir Writing Classes 2023
I will be teaching in person at Pearl Buck International in Perkasie, PA the third Wednesday of the month from May through October, from 1 to 3 pm.
This class will guide you towards centering on one segment of your life and turning it into a compelling story, whether your goal is to share it with family and friends or to publish it for a wider audience. Each session includes time to practice writing that month’s lesson and to give and receive gentle, constructive feedback. Between class sessions, you will also have the opportunity to discuss articles on memoir writing and to share your writing with other students and the instructor for a more comprehensive response.
Register by emailing Pearl S. Buck Writing Center Chair Cindy Louden at clouden@pearlsbuck.org or call 267-421-6203.
Registration fee is $200 for each session payable by check or credit card.
Sunday, May 28th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., I’ll be sharing a table with writers Sandra Carey Cody and Susan E. Wagner. Together, we represent time travel, cozy mystery and poetry.
