Best-selling author Lidia Yuknavitch (The Chronology of Water) is this fall’s featured teacher, along with industry expert Jane Friedman and literary agent Regina Brooks, for Linda Joy and Brooke’s day of MEMOIR MAGIC on September 13th.Most of you who follow our courses know we teach a regular best-selling memoir each spring and fall—and this fall we’re choosing a new favorite, Dani Shapiro’s Inheritance. Join us for one or both events. We’re bundling these events so that you can do both for $199 (or take them separately—A Day of Memoir Magic is $149 through September 1st and Inheritance is $99 through September 1st).
Both events are focused on craft and inspiration. We are over the moon to welcome our guests and all they bring to the process of writing and publishing. This fall we’re focusing on learning—and readying yourself to achieve all your dreams for your memoir.
We hope you’ll join us for one or both events—and check out all the details RIGHT HERE.
“Your life doesn’t happen in any kind of order. Events don’t have cause and effect relationships the way you wish they did. It’s all a series of fragments and repetitions and pattern formations. Language and water have this in common.”
― Lidia Yuknavitch, The Chronology of Water
