Why subscribe?
Thanks for asking! Memoiring is for…
a) readers who want to read literary memoir — all kinds and subgenres — every damn month
b) emerging memoir writers who want to steep themselves in the genre, take memoir classes, and be part of a creative nonfiction community
c) authors of memoir and personal essays looking to access a valuable and devoted pool of readers for their work *and* who love the idea of showing up in conversation with us + connecting with us here and at Memoiring on Instagram
This Substack is for folks who stan memoir (*writing platform gurus, publicists, publishers, reviewers, agents, too).
Please share Memoiring with folks you think would enjoy it!
How Memoiring works
At the top of each month Melisse Gelula, founder of Memoiring Book Club, picks a must-read memoir, and sends you an email so you’re instantly in the know.
Your first move is to grab a copy of our pick from your fave indie bookstore *and* RSVP to our monthly Zoom event with the author! The date, time, and sign-up link will be in your email and here on the site.
Only subscribers get free access to our monthly live author events. These intimate, interactive conversations are content and craft focused — and largely Q&A. They are NOT recorded. Being off the record means authors dish freely. Ditto attendees.
Still have questions? Message us!
Stay up-to-date
You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. Subscribers get full access to the newsletter — expect one per month, two at most — as well as the website.
