Profile Information
- Who I am:
- http://memoryandmirrors.blogspot.com
I have just started this blog, writing about memory, memoir, place, culture. I welcome all comments and contributions!
- Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
- "Stella Maris", a memoir of mad mother as mirror, in progress
"A Many-Splendored Thing", an essay about Canadian Métis artist Rosalie Favell, for "Visual Currencies", an anthology about Native American photography, National Museum of Scotland
"Breasts", a short story for the anthology of women's writing "Out for More Blood", Third Side Press
- My writing is:
- Nonfiction, Memoir, Theory
- Outlets where I review books, TV, or film:
- I do but only for my own enjoyment
- Services I offer to other writers:
- I have twelve years of academic research experience in the areas of Anthropology, Art History, Cultural Studies, Media Studies.
I have extensive multicultural experience: I am Italian-born-and-bread, and have lived in Germany, England, Canada, and now I permanently reside in the US. I am fully bilingual in Italian-English, and capable of reading and translating French and Spanish.
I would be happy to assist writers with their research at any stage of their book project, whether fiction or non-fiction.
I can also perform some preliminary editing work: I don't claim to be a professional editor, but I have a good eye to spot mistakes and I have been known to correct them in the books I'm reading! I am a meticulous fact-checker and a stickler for grammar and spelling.
Most of all, I'd be happy to be of service to women writers and support their creative endeavors in any way I can...
- I'm part of these writers' groups or salons:
- I have recently moved to Portland and I am actively looking for a writers' group in the areas of memoir and general non-fiction. Contact me if you are interested!

In the last month of the last year, ill health forced me to take a long absence from my writing projects—except for journal writing, the only kind that didn't require too much in the way of editing or paying attention.…

My blog lately came to a halt, first because of the aftermath of my beloved cat Billie's death (at the end of July); and then because of the weather.
It's been so…

As you can see, gentle readers, my blog has been desolate and neglected for a while, and so has been my writing life in general. There are reasons for this, though they may not be good ones: firstly it is hard to keep up the motivation when you experience only rejections for a long time. Secondly, my personal life has been a twist in the wind, what with the house renovation still looming large and causing marital strife, stress, ill health, and financial loss. It is a burden I have had to…

I am not writing really, corresponding.yes. I feel the writing process is a very lonely 'business' which is almost 'disconnecting'...so I paint as I found the dealing with color and imagining images and get a perspective on a flat canvas is utmost challenging.... I have a blogpost also, but rather with poems and about poets or painters I adore. Helas its not as regularly kept as I should/want.
I communicate lots in facebook as I have friends all over the world after living abroad for so long of course and that's the easiest way to stay in touch. The small daily writing in which language? German/ English is quite occupying process and makes me deal with words and phrases that others wrote for which I find translations, a transforming process it is...there are words I love and like to use, there are some expressions that I have no feelings although I know they are correct to be used to whatever say I search for...
Have a nice day...
