Midtown Memoir Writer's Sunday In-Person Meetup

Welcome to the FOURTH in-person 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/Sept 11th

• 12:00 pm: RSVPs + $5 dues are due. Please pay by Venmo @Laura-Cafiso
• B/f 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_9.14.25 Submission

Friday/Sept 12th - Sunday Sept 14th: read and critique each others' pieces

Sunday, Sept 14th: MEET & SHARE!
Please bring paper copies of others' members pieces with YOUR comments/critiques for today, to give to each other as reference.
We'll meet at Pita Jungle/3rd Avenue & Roosevelt, out on the patio. Address is 1001 N. 3rd Ave - there is street parking & a covered parking lot. The upstairs is often filled - but surprise! there is a downstairs so make sure to check that out to score a space.

Please plan on patronizing Pita Jungle by buying lunch/snack/beverage.

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. Thank you!
