Memoir Writing Group Meeting at the Suzette Memorial Effingham Public Library

The memoir writing group will meet at the Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library on Tuesday, April 3 at 1 p.m. in the Luttrell Room.

Join this group of writers as they focus on writing about their life story for their family and friends or just for themselves. This writing group welcomes newcomers and all level of writers.  Typically meeting for two hours, participants are encouraged to bring writing that they’ve worked on to share with the group.

At each meeting possible writing prompts are shared.  Participants are encouraged to consider various aspects of their life story. The writing prompt or assignment to prepare for the April’s meeting is to write about your high school. How did you get to and from school? What did the school look like from the outside and inside? What was it like to walk in the halls, eat in the cafeteria, or to sit at your classroom desk? Each member may read their writing aloud.

During the meeting, participants also have 15 to 20 minutes to write about another topic that will be drawn from an envelope of prompt ideas. It, too, will be shared with the group.

Registration is required.
