UPCOMING EVENTS


ARIA Writing Academy: So You Want to Write a Memoir?

Instructor: Lynne Heinzmann

Tuesday, May 7, 2024, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

If you would like to know more about writing memoir, please consider joining me for this 90-minute online class I am teaching via Zoom.

Class Description: A memoir, unlike an autobiography, is an up-close look at your life that focuses on a particular topic or time period. It might be about why you love playing bluegrass fiddle music so much or what happened during your first year of marriage. A good memoir will reveal what you learned from your experiences as well as provide something meaningful for the reader to think about. In this interactive workshop, we will take a look at some well-written memoirs, examine different ways to organize them, and then try writing an excerpt or two. Join the class with your computer or pen/paper on hand and be prepared to begin your personal memoir journey.

Class fee: $30

Registration: The class is sponsored by ARIA (the Association of Rhode Island Authors) but anyone can attend. To register and pay for the class, visit the ARIA website by clicking HERE.

I hope to see you in class!

Ed Evarts’s Book Launch for

THE BRAVERY TRICK

Tuesday, May 14, 2024

I am thrilled to announce that Leadership Coach, Business Strategist, and Podcaster Ed Evarts will be releasing his latest book, The Bravery Trick, on Tuesday, May 14. I had the privilege of working with Ed as his book coach and editor on this project. In The Bravery Trick, he shares four impactful strategies based on personal and client experiences, survey findings, and podcast guest interviews that emphasize bravery’s crucial role in the contemporary workplace. Dr. Richard Boyatzis, an expert in the field of emotional intelligence, states that this book provides “food for thought to prepare you for your moment of courage and bravery.” Congratulations, Ed!

Look for The Bravery Trick on Amazon.com and wherever books are sold.

 

That’s all the news for this month. Now, as promised, here are some photos I took of our recent trip to Spain, featuring my wonderful mom Marilyn, my big brother Phil, my lovely sister-in-law Colleen, and me.

Enjoy and thanks for reading!
