On October 28th, Anika Hanisch interviewed long-time novelist and memoirist Laura Kalpakian who has recently published a new instructional work: Memory into Memoir: A Writer’s Handbook. The two women shared their insights about the memoir-writing process. Both have experience as writing instructors, Kalpakian is an award-winning novelist and now memoir-writer herself, and Hanisch has ghostwritten for and coached memoirists for decades. For any beginning memoirist, it was an intriguing conversation, full of generous tips and insights.
The Q&A portion of the event is now closed, but there is a recording of the event on YouTube:

Kalpakian’s book is available anywhere fine books are sold.
