Memoir Writing

Saturday, June 2
Memoir Writing  (EWGS Meetings)
12:30 pm to 3:00 pm
Spokane Public Library Auditorium, Downtown Spokane
Presenter – Donna Lee Anderson.
SHOULD YOU WRITE YOUR MEMOIRS? The answer is YES! Donna Lee Anderson will discuss ways to organize your stories & keep them organized, what to write, how to write it, what to include in your stories & how important it is to include names, dates, ages, and even conversations.  She will also help you choose topics to write about.
 Donna Lee Anderson has been writing for many years. She writes children’s books, mysteries and romantic novels, and a how-to book for writer’s called Necessary Words for Writers which explains those words used in the publishing world that the new author may not know or understand.
Donna writes a weekly column for Sound Publishing called BOOK ENDS about authors, books, literary happenings around the area, and teaches writing. Some of her classes are: “Should you write your memoirs? The answer is yes!” and “You have the idea, now what?” Both are writer’s classes on how to get organized, getting those first words on paper, and then information on structure, lengths for specific genre’s, character development, etc.
She has published four books and is working on a mystery that she hopes will be out this year.
