Sure, I’m grinning all over myself.
My essay, “No More Secrets and Silence,” was awarded 1st place in the Magic of Memoir Essay Contest, chosen from 185 submissions. My prize is $400, which has already arrived. And the essay will also be included in the forthcoming Magic of Memoir Anthology. That’s expected out in November 2016.
I hope you’ll pick up a copy of the collection (you can pre-order it now, as I have) and enjoy the essays written by all the memoirists included in it. We share the approaches we took to writing our memoirs, including obstacles we encountered and overcame—and we offer solutions that can help you in your writing, as well.
Please spread the word about the upcoming Magic of Memoir Anthology!
Congratulations Lynette! This will be a valuable resource for writers!
Thanks, Joyce. And thank you for all your support and wisdom! No writer can make it without those.
Congrats, Lynette!
