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.

REGISTER for September 26th, 2024 (1:00pm eastern)
