Book Club July 30 + Self-Editing Tips

Hello memoirists,

I hope your summer is going well! Mine has started to race away from me. We had to reschedule the book club for Finding My Way, to July 30, so you still have time to read it and join us.

Book club discussion questions are ready and waiting for you here:

Vote for whatever speaks to you, and I’ll happily go wherever the majority leads.

–Meeting change on the third Thursdays–

I’ve been enjoying the low pressure Writing Only sessions on the first Thursday of the month so I’m switching the third Thursday every month from Read Then Write to Writing Together.

We’re experiencing our standard summer dip in attendance, but the energy for those of us who show up has been great!

Warmly,

Christina
