** Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King**
Explore memoir writing with Writing Works Wonders! First, we conduct a brief interview with Jane Toleno regarding her memoir, “BlindSight: Come and See” and Cheryl regarding her children’s book series that include memoir and her adult memoir entitled “Time Capsule.”
The next section of the episode includes an engaging engage interactive discussion about what is involved in writing a memoir.
Topics will include • What is usually meant by memoir? And what point of view is used in memoir? • How is memoir different from biography and autobiography? • How may you begin your memoir? • Ways to organize your memoir. • Why and how to identify your audience.
About Jane Toleno In 1947, Jane Toleno and her twin sister were placed in incubation immediately after birth. Too much oxygen was allowed to filter into their incubators and both twins lost their eyesight. Her book, “BlindSight: Come and See,” poignantly describes living with blindness in an often short-sighted world. Toleno expounds on the spiritual, physical, mental, emotional and social challenges of living blind. Jane has become a regular and valued participant of the Writing Works Wonders Zoom call.
