Editing Memoir
Helping Writers Navigate Facts, Fables, Foibles, and Families
Editors will share their insights on how to help writers of memoir navigate theme and serve audiences, the art and science of creative nonfiction, legal issues, and repercussions for relationships. This virtual roundtable discussion will be a good place to ask lots of questions or illustrate examples of your experience guiding authors on this emotional storytelling journey.
