Memoir as Novel

Crafting Your Story into a Story They Can’t Put Down

Lessons + Discussion with Lea Grover

Wednesday, September 30
2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT
Free Community Zoom Event

You have a story to tell. But how do you shape the experiences of a real life into a story readers can’t put down?

Join us for a conversation with Lea Grover, author of When And Always, as she shares her publication experience and what she learned through the process of writing her memoir.

We’ll talk about the craft of transforming lived experience into a compelling narrative, the lessons Lea learned along the way, and what it takes to move a personal story from memory to manuscript and ultimately toward publication.

There will also be time for Q&A, so bring your questions about memoir writing, craft, publishing, or anything you’ve been wondering about as you work on your own story.

This conversation is for you if…

You’re writing or considering writing a memoir.

You’re wondering how to turn real-life experiences into a cohesive, engaging story.

You want to learn more about the writing and publication process from someone who has been through it.

Or you simply love conversations about writing, storytelling, and the messy process of turning a life into a book.
