Bethesda Memoirs Meetup Group + online

Organize & write polished memoirs for writers and enthusiasts at all skill & experience levels, critique each others' work, learn all about the book publishing industry. Weekly Saturday morning 11:00am EST meetings will be heavy on name author guest speakers plus publishing industry pros...new group Organizer Pete Warner (as of early 2022) has been working the phones, doing research, tracking down and recruiting very accomplished, very seasoned pro writers--particularly "how to write memoir" books--to share their tips and techniques. Field questions from the Members. Pete's intent now is to feature a name author guest speaker or seasoned industry pro just about every single Saturday, some of them multiple times. So even if you have never yet put pen to paper, started your own memoir, started ghostwriting a parent's memoir, started ghostwriting a grandparent's memoir, etc., you can learn how the pros do it and the processes they went through. Totally revamped club under new management will be a democracy; Pete is flexible re: meeting formats and is very receptive to requests, suggestions for fresh name author and other speakers.
