Matilda Butler, my co-author, colleague and business partner, is the guest on an upcoming teleseminar, sponsored by National Association of Memoir Writers (NAMW). The teleseminar -- SHARPEN YOUR STORY USING COLLECTIVE MEMOIR TECHNIQUES -- is this Thursday, September 18 at 11 AM. If you would like to join NAMW and have access to this teleseminar as well as other benefits, you can use the special discount code that is only good through September 18. The usual yearly membership fee is $127 but you can join for $107 using the coupon code: SCHOOLSPECIAL-001. Just go to www.namw.org <http://www.namw.org> to read more about membership benefits.
Here's a quick overview about Matilda's teleseminar.
Matilda Butler will talk about ways to strengthen your individual memoir by using techniques from the collective memoir. A collective memoir is a weaving together of different threads of stories written (or told) by many different people. Matilda will draw upon her own experience writing Rosie's Daughters: The "First Woman To" Generation Tells Its Story, the compilation of over 100 stories by women she interviewed. Interwoven into these stories are archival photographs and quotes from published memoirs to create a tapestry of voices that deepen our understanding of how women's lives changed and evolved since WWII.
You may not be thinking about a collective memoir. That's why Matilda is eager to share with you some of the techniques from this memoir genre that may help you create a more textured individual memoir and that can give power to your theme and message.
* What is a collective memoir?
* How common is the collective memoir?
* How do you use the techniques of the collective memoir in an individual memoir?
* Once you've used some of these techniques, how do you incorporate them into an individual memoir?
These and other topics will be part of this fascinating exploration of the power of many voices to tell our stories.
