Midtown Memoir Writer's Sunday ZOOM Meetup

Welcome to the THIRD Zoom/online meeting of the MMWG!
The format is done this way for a reason. It may seem "strict" but it's easy once you do it a few times. I will help you w/ anything you need to ensure your "success." The biggest success is preparing a piece to submit & then reading/critiquing your colleagues.

Here's the rundown:
Thursday/August 21st

• 12:00 pm: RSVPs + $5 dues are due. Please pay by Venmo @Laura-Cafiso
• By 8 pm: I'll send out email to share who has RSVPed
• 10:00 pm: Those of us who are "Yes RSVPS" will email our submissions to that group of Readers/Writers with the email addresses I've provided
• Word count is 500 - 2000 words, subject to change depending on how many RSVPs we have.
• Please title your Word doc like this > First Name Initial Period Last Name_ Date Submission:
  For ex: L. Cafiso_8.24.25 Submission

Saturday, August 23rd: Sunday meeting's ZOOM link be sent out via email, so please pay attention to your email

Friday/August 22nd - Sunday August 24h: read and critique each others' pieces

Sunday, August 24th, 12 Noon: MEET ON ZOOM & SHARE!
We do a check-in (how's everyone doing?!) and then launch into each person giving their critique of another member's piece by "sharing screens."

Know that with the topic of memoir and creative nonfiction, we delve into the triumphs and tragedies of Life. We've covered all kinds of topics, such as coming of age, death/grief, sex, etc. If any of that makes you squeamish, either be prepared to expand your comfort level or this may not be the group for you.

On that note, we welcome ALL and do not tolerate discrimination/hate speech or any of that nonsense.

Look forward to this meeting with as many of you as can join us!
