A win for the memoirists! I told myself that applying for grants etc was good practice for articulating what my project was + developing a thick skin. I was shocked to get a YES! Esp now w/all the senseless arts cuts. Books + writing saved me. They will save others. We have to protect them. 🙏

Noooo!

I have dream and it’s to make the memoir section closer to the high-traffic parts of the bookstore and not by the broom closet and dusty textbooks on the third floor, per Barnes & Noble Union Square. Who’s with me?

Great advice! I loved the super specific examples. Definitely saving this one for a moment in my and my manuscript’s not too distant future

Amazing, Michael!

Yesss, important timing indeed

Ooh, thanks so much for sharing your work, James! There’s an anthology dropping in May by Michele Filgate called “What My Father and I Don’t Talk About.”Might be interesting to you!
