Memoir writing at Fayetteville Library’s 2012 OWL
If you have been thinking about writing a family history or memoir, you can get your ideas off the ground by attending the session on memoir writing at at Fayetteville Library’s 2012 Ozark Writer Live! event on Saturday, September 8.
Marilyn H. Collins, a writing coach who specializes in the writing of local history and memoirs, will present a workshop called “Memoir Writing: Brighten Your Leaf on the Family Tree” at 11 a.m. at the September 8 event.
