What a helpful info packed Memoir Proposal Bootcamp with
Allison K Williams and Abby Alten Schwartz over the past 3 days. Love women who know their shiz AND how to teach it!

My brain is sore after a weekend of memoir bootcamp with Allison K Williams and Abby Alten Schwartz. Today I have a map, new writer friends, and a boost of writing power. Allison K Williams is AMAZING! Take a class with her--any class--she's so freaking smart.

Getting ready to help the fabulous Allison K Williams teach her memoir proposal bootcamp course in one hour. Contending with howling winds (please don’t lose power) and a barking dog but I have backup plans for both.

See you soon!

So happy to teach Proposal Bootcamp this weekend! Amazing Abby Alten Schwartz will talk pitching/essays; we'll cover comps, writing a powerful overview, those key sample chapters, and (ofc) if you gotta write the whole book before selling it.

Very proud of my beautiful friend--Abby Alten Schwartz and her creative nonfiction. For all my fellow journalists and writer friends, you'll appreciate that journalism doesn't pay the bills-Abby's words resonate: 'You’ve slammed two drinks but adrenaline still floods you, keeps the sadness…

'To finish that book rusting in the back of your mind, you must actively bring it forward.

First, pick one. (You know you have more than one.)'

Working on your proposal? Allison K Williams and Abby Alten Schwartz have your back!

Excited to assist Allison K Williams as she teaches her awesome Proposal Bootcamp this weekend. You don't want to miss this!

It only took me a year to drag my 🍑 across the street to ship a package to my sister. Tell me a task you cannot get yourself to tackle but once you do it’s like oh, that was easy.

Last year I took Allison K Williams's Memoir Proposal Bootcamp course and three months later, I signed with my agent. Allison is teaching it again next weekend and I'll be helping out. Highly recommend!

Hot Priest starring as Tom Ripley on Netflix and I know what I’m doing this weekend.

Felt the earthquake outside Philly and thought maybe a helicopter was overhead as sometimes happens.

I love my writing group. We have merch.

Announcing the winner of our We Love Shorts Shorts Contest for Flash Creative Nonfiction. Congratulations again to all three finalists. We love their short shorts and we hope you do too: hippocampusmagazine.com/2024/03/flash-…

Book mail to brighten a dreary day. So excited to dive into this memoir by mimi zieman, md on her release day!

This:

I just discovered that Nancy Meyers' daughters are named Annie and Hallie and now I need to rewatch The Parent Trap for the gazillionth time.

Sometimes I’m so focused on writing I forget how much I love reading and how deeply ingrained that love is. I need to take back the time I waste scrolling and up my reading.

Woke up at 2 am with an idea that’s either a humor piece or a funny tweet so now I have to add figuring that out to my to-do list.
