General meetings resume on Saturday, September 9 when Writers Forum board member George T. Parker presents Everyone Has a Story That Deserves to be Told: The Craft of Memoir. George will provide encouragement and tools for helping you get your story written and published. He will help you identify your story, show you narrative techniques to help you tell it, and give you a roadmap to publication. This presentation will include a raffle with special prizes in keeping with the topic of memoir. George has been working in natural resources since coming to California in 1986, and writing informally alongside his day jobs all that time. The journal he kept while on a Yosemite backcountry trail crew is providing the raw material for a memoir. Visit George at https://grinningdwarf.com or https://ccchardcorps.wordpress.com
Writers Forum meets from 10:30am – 12:30pm monthly on the second Saturday (except for July and August) in the All Saints Episcopal Church Memorial Hall Room located at 2150 Benton Drive, Redding, CA. Doors open at 10am.
Spoken Word night is the third Friday at 7:30. People can just come at 7:30 or a few minutes early and let Nadia, the hostess, know they wish to read. There is no advance sign up and no door fee, although we do gratefully accept donations. We have complimentary wine and coffee available for which we also accept donations. If you have further questions, best would be to give us your number and good times to call, and Nadia can call you back.
