My pals Betsy Ashton and Judy Ayyildiz, both of whom have taught at the Roanoke Regional Writers Conference, have scheduled an all-day workshop in Wirtz (Smith Mountain Lake) Wednesday,Oct. 8 for those of you pondering writing your memoirs. Both--I can attest--are accomplished writers and excellent teachers.

Here are the details, provided by Betsh:

Many of you are in book clubs with members who "have always wanted to write their memoirs" but who don't know how to get started. Others of you are in writing groups with similar members. Some of you work at libraries. All of you have friends who live in the Smith Mountain Lake/Roanoke/Lynchburg area.

 If this is something you would enjoy, Judy and I would love to have you. We have an event page on FB.  https://www.facebook.com/events/280675642133447/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming
