New for 2012! Memoir Writing Conference

April 27-28

ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks

You are the story you tell about yourself. If you've ever wanted to write your memoir, finish up one you've started, or add some sparkle to one you've completed, the Memoir Writing Conference is for you. Eight nationally known writers and artists (Susan Straight, G. Bruce Boyer, Billy Kounoupis, Scott Sherk, Pat Badt, Carolyn Segal, Marjorie Maddox and Gary Hafer) will help you learn how to tell your story. A panel of experts including New York Literary agent Betsy Lerner, attorney Karolyn Vreeland Blume and psychologist Dr. Micah Sadigh will help you deal with the fallout of writing about a life that includes others besides you, and award-winning journalist Bill White, our keynote speaker, will tell you how and why to include humor in your writing. A premium dinner on Friday, April 27 with Susan Straight and Betsy Lerner kicks off the conference, which begins Saturday morning, April 28 with a yoga session led by Cat Cappel of West End Yoga to jump start creativity. Novelist Bathsheba Monk will edit and assemble an E-Book of your writing after the conference.
