Choose Your Own Memoir

Much like the "choose your own adventure" stories, we will start with an anecdote - turning it into a memorable piece by discussing what to put in, what to leave out, and how to wrap it up. What are the elements that make the writing more than just a retelling? 

A discussion among Amesbury’s poet laureates: current Laureate Bryan Riley, Lisa Usani Phillips Poet Laureate Emerita, and Ellie O’Leary Poet Laureate Emerita.

At the Amesbury Cultural Center in Amesbury Massachusetts. More details to follow.

I will be facilitating this writing program at Pyramid Life Center in Paradox, NY. There are low, but inclusive, fees at an Adirondack retreat center. I’ll also be teaching a craft talk “Writing Rules are Guidelines”. Register at Pyramid Life Center | A Place to Recreate and Re-Create

I will attend the annual O’Leary Clan Gathering in Inchigeelagh. County Cork, Ireland.

Last year I read some of my poetry. This year, I’m led to believe there’ll be even more singing and dancing. Looking forward . . .

I will be doing a one session memoir workshop Fact or Fiction in Your Memoir. Should you stay true to the story or adapt it as fiction? What to include? What to leave out?
