SUMMARY:HOW-TO TUESDAY: The Quiet Memoir: Finding "Conflict" in a Quiet Life with Kate Meadows
DESCRIPTION: Event update: This event was originally scheduled for May 7. We’ll resend event information to those who’ve already registered. \nWe live in a society that is hungry for true stories of profound trauma and monumental recovery. But what if you’re a writer who doesn’t have an obvious rock-bottom-to-mountain-top story to share? Is there room for life stories that are quieter\, tamer? \nIn this talk\, writer/editor Kate Meadows will address this question head-on and share her own experience of coming to terms with (and ultimately defining for herself) “the quiet memoir.” In the end\, there is a market for “quieter” life stories. The key is to create resonating points with your reader. \nKate will focus on the following points in this talk: \n\nThe significance of conflict and how to identify possible points of tension in a quiet memoir\nVarious ways to think about conflict (hint: it’s more than just “a problem!”)\nWhy knowing your audience is critical\nHow to hone in on the true significance of your story\n\nAttendees will gain a better understanding and appreciation of the quiet memoir and learn how to approach stories with no obvious struggle in new and different ways. \nAbout the series: How-To Tuesdays are monthly talks on the craft of creative nonfiction\, publishing\, marketing and the writing life led by Hippocampus Magazine editors & contributors. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nAbout Our Speaker\nKate Meadows is a creative nonfiction writer\, editor and writing coach with an MFA in professional writing.
