Memoir Reading & Writing Club

Have you ever wanted to write a memoir?  Do you enjoy reading memoirs?  If your answer is yes, then this is the club for you!  This will be part book club (reading examples of memoirs and personal essays), and part writing workshop.  We will discuss what makes a good or bad memoir and how to get started; we will read published examples of book-length memoirs and personal essays; we will read non-fiction books on strategies for how to write; and we will workshop pieces of your own writing, getting feedback on your writing from the entire group.

Our reading for June is When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi.  You can order a copy by calling the library at 989-755-0904, option 2, or but a copy at Amazon or Barnes & Noble or similar.

Bring a notebook.
