Hillsboro Reads
I’ll be participating in the Local Author Expo during the Hillsboro Reads event at the Hillsboro Brookwood Library, and reading from my new book, You Can’t Dance a Lie: A Memoir of Stepping Into My Truth.
Finding the Core Message of Your Memoir
Theme is arguably more important in memoir than in any other genre. You need a compelling take-away for the reader because you aren’t a celebrity coasting on your platform. You are an ordinary person who lived an extraordinary segment of your life, and you are here to write about it. In today’s presentation, you’ll discover and clarify the thematic core of your memoir, decide which structure to use, and maybe even settle on a working title. Come prepared to look underneath the plot of your story and find its true meaning.
Doors at 6:00 p.m., Meeting starts at 6:30 p.m.
Available in-person at Hillsboro Brookwood Library, or online.
