The Scoville Library's memoir writing program continues with a monthly group where  memoirists meet for constructive feedback and support in the writing process. Led by memoir writer, playwright, novelist, poet, and actress, Leigh Curran, the group is recommended for adults with some memoir-writing experience.

The Monthly Meet-Up gathers on second Thursdays, September through December, from 3:00 -5:00 PM, in the Oak Room at the Scoville Library.

Registration for this Monthly Meet-Up series has closed. The library also offers a Memoir Workshop which is open to writers at all levels.
