Memoir Book Club

Do you love reading memoirs? Are you writing a personal narrative? The CNFC Memoir Book Club is a monthly drop-in opportunity to talk shop for students of the genre. Bring a couple of memoirs you’ve read or are currently reading—there’s no assigned book! The hour-long session is a chance to reflect on how the memoirs on your bookshelf are put together by diving deeper into the craft underneath the stories.

FREE for members. Registration required.

NOTE: September’s meeting date has been changed to Oct. 3, 2024

REGISTER for October 3, 2024 (1:00pm eastern)
