“Memories Into Memoir” will be the focus of the next Writer’s Roundtable on Saturday, August 21 at the Orcas Island Public Library.
JoEllen Moldoff, Roundtable Organizer will be the presenter. She says, “In this Roundtable we will explore ways to tap into memories, and how to begin writing and shaping our personal stories. We will draw upon published memoirs and writing exercises to prompt our writing. All are welcome, including beginners.”
Writer’s Roundtable meets from 1 to 3 p.m.

A newcomer to Orcas, I’m delighted to discover the Writer’s Roundtable interest in memoirs, because, as a personal historian, I shared my research and experience in memoir writing in my book Your Memoirs: Sharing the Stories of Your Life and Work, available at amazon.com and other online booksellers. A memoir is a great family legacy and can be fascinating to write, especially with the encouragement of a memoir writing group.
