THE ART OF WRITING A MEMOIR - July 19th Workshop with Professor Leslie Sharpe




What is a memoir? Which is the correct technique of memoir writing? Who can write a memoir?
Professor Leslie Sharpe of Columbia University told a group of aspiring memoir writers all they need to know to write a good memoir. The lecture was brilliant and members of the audience were encouraged to read from their writings. There were fascinating stories out there, and Professor Sharpe provided essential advice to the writers.
The enthusiasm was such that the participants decided to meet again, once a month, at the Hobart International Bookport, in a Writers' Club. Aspiring writers are welcome to join!
