About the Group
The group is currently seeking two members.
One trend in memoir is to incorporate factual information on topics that are integral to the themes and events that occur in the work. For instance, a text about the writer's personal transformation after starting an organic garden in an urban housing project might share what the research/experts say about food sovereignty, horticulture therapy, and so forth.
I envision a small group of individuals working on such a piece (extended essay or memoir) who would like to discuss the challenges with pulling it off successfully (as in retaining a literary tone), engage in practice, provide accountability, and eventually provide constructive criticism.
