Our memoir writing program continues with a monthly group that provides memoirists with constructive feedback and support in the writing process. Led by memoir writer, playwright, novelist, poet, and actress, Leigh Curran, the group will meet from April through July. Some writing experience is recommended for those joining the group.

This program is made possible by contributions from the Friends of the Scoville Library and from library patrons like you.
