MEMOIR/PERSONAL ESSAY/CREATIVE NONFICTION WRITERS/LIFE POETS welcome!
Come join us for 90 minutes of focused memoir writing time, followed by time to share what you wrote.
7:00 - 7:15 - Introductions and intention setting
7:15 - 8:45 - 90 minutes of devoted writing/editing on your memoir/personal essay
8:45 - 10:00 - Anyone who would like to share may read for five minutes.The preference is to read what you've written during the session to motivate us to really get busy during those 90 minutes. However, if there is a previously written piece that you need feedback on, that is fine as well. Perfection is an illusion so don't feel ashamed to share something that you do not feel is perfect.
Let us know before you read what kind of feedback you would like, if any. If you would just like positive encouragement, that's totally fine! If you want something more constructive, we're happy to offer that as well. We have a wonderfully kind and welcoming group, so don't be intimidated!
Reading out loud (and listening to others!) is a wonderful experience.
This is a safe space devoted to authors of memoirs/personal essays/creative nonfiction. Please come support and inspire each other and make progress together! We have sessions every Thursday.

https://www.facebook.com/memoirmentors - Memoir Book Club - You Could Make This Place BeautifulLink visible for attendees
In the Memoir Mentors Book Club, we explore memoirs through a writer’s lens. We go beyond the surface of the stories. We dissect memoirs, identifying elements we can integrate into our own writing and those we might want to steer clear of. Our discussions center around the strengths and weaknesses of the writing, providing valuable insights for enriching our writer’s toolboxes.
Come on by for insightful conversations, even if you haven’t read the featured book.
Book club questions can be found here: https://memoirmentors.com/book-club-questions/
This time, we'll be discussing:
You Could Make This Place Beautiful, by poet Maggie SmithWhat it's about:
“Life, like a poem, is a series of choices."In her memoir You Could Make This Place Beautiful, poet Maggie Smith explores the disintegration of her marriage and her renewed commitment to herself. The book begins with one woman’s personal heartbreak, but its circles widen into a reckoning with contemporary womanhood, traditional gender roles, and the power dynamics that persist even in many progressive homes. With the spirit of self-inquiry and empathy she’s known for, Smith interweaves snapshots of a life with meditations on secrets, anger, forgiveness, and narrative itself. The power of these pieces is cumulative: page after page, they build into a larger interrogation of family, work, and patriarchy.
You Could Make This Place Beautiful, like the work of Deborah Levy, Rachel Cusk, and Gina Frangello, is an unflinching look at what it means to live and write our own lives. It is a story about a mother’s fierce and constant love for her children, and a woman’s love and regard for herself. Above all, this memoir is “extraordinary” (Ann Patchett) in the way that it reveals how, in the aftermath of loss, we can discover our power and make something new and beautiful.
