My Memoir is About You: Why We Read Other People's Lives
Posted on April 6, 2012 at 9:30am 3 Comments 6 Likes
At this year's AWP conference in Chicago, Ellen Cassedy and Nancy K. Miller were part of a panel organized by the University of Nebraska Press on Family Stories. Kamy Wicoff was in attendance, and loved what they had to say on the subject so much (memoir writers, don't miss these wonderful posts)…
Rip Van Winkle Parties at Girls Write Now: After the Countdown to Publication
Posted on October 8, 2011 at 8:00am 4 Comments 3 Likes
The pub date of September 1 came and went minus fanfare. Understatement: absolutely nothing happened. I wasn’t devastated because I hadn’t expected anything. At least I hadn’t admitted to myself that I had the slightest anticipation of—I don’t even know what, something. Still, faced with the nothing of the day, I did feel a bit downcast, since I had not succeeded in fooling myself. (Yes, I confess that I was hoping for a miracle, even though I don’t believe in them.) But a few short weeks…

Today, September 1, is my official pub date. It will also be the final installment of my turn as She Writes' Countdown to Publication columnist. You’ll be reading this on that day, but that “today” is not mine. I’m still, as I write, waiting, and waiting is rarely an enjoyable activity.

Laura Levitt said… Dear Nancy,
This is fabulous news! Do hold Monday night of the conference for our party, a regular tradition at the conference. I will look forward to seeing you there. I am also excited about your book and look forward to getting my copy, I have already placed an advanced order with Amazon, at least I believe that I did this. I am a bit overwhelmed these days with taking care of my aging and ailing parents. My mother is in the late stages of frontal temporal dementia and frankly, it is just heartbreaking.
Take good care, Laura

Heather Hewett said… - Hi Nancy, Thank you so much for hosting the salon in which I learned more than I ever thought I would know about social media. (I am still sifting through everything!) What a wonderful opportunity to sit in the same room with so many brilliant women. I have started a group you may be interested in -- Writer, PhD*. We would love to hear your thoughts about navigating a writing life and an academic life. All best, Heather Hewett
