The author E.M. Forster wrote: “The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.” Yet each of us lives a story that is unique and many of us feel a strong desire to get our stories down, and to share them. The story of your life could be the most truthful, meaningful writing you do. It is the tale that only you can tell.
Join other “Lifers” at Barrington Public Library for Life on the Page: A Memoir Writers Meetup every other Tuesday (Feb. 18 to May 13) from 1 to 3 PM. There you can explore and find expression for your stories. This meetup will look at how different authors approach memoir; use writing prompts and exercises to inspire and focus; the option to share your work; and participate in feedback and other group discussion within a supportive environment. Drop-in and introduce yourself and come ready to write.
Life on the Page: A Memoir Writers Meetup is led by Kate Lohman who holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College. Free and open to all. Register at the Reference Desk or online: http://goo.gl/aqxKSJ. This program is generously sponsored by Friends of Barrington Public Library.
