May 2008

Join me for an interview with SCN member and author Linda Wisniewski. We talk about her recently published memoir, "Off Kilter: A Woman's Journey to peace with scoliosis, her mother, and her Polish heritage." Linda tells us about her experience with writing as healing, and she gives us some great tips on how to pursue publication.

And listen with me to some fantastic listener contributions from our Listener Line. I invited Internet Chapter e-circle members to share their 6-word memoir. One of these lucky contributors will win a copy of Linda's book! This month, call our Listener Line and tell us why you read women's memoir. You'll be entered into next month's drawing for a lifewriting goody!
