Memoir coach and author Marion Roach

Welcome to The Memoir Project, the portal to your writing life.

Join Me at Tribe Conference

MRS tribeconf16-spkr-square-marion(1)IT FEELS LIKE THE PERFECT online dating experience: You meet over the internet, get along great and then spend a lot of time getting along even better only to then agree to meet in person. Now multiply that many times and you’ll know how I feel about speaking at the upcoming Tribe Conference next month.

I cannot name all the people I’ll finally be seeing face-to-face for the first time, but I can say that the two who will make me giggle when we finally lay eyes on one another are Jeff Goins and Pamela Hodges, both of whom are real talents in this field of writing I call home, and both of whom have become dear friends.

Want to be there too? It’s September 16-18, 2016. It’s easy to join in. Sign up.

    You’ll be the star of the show! Wish I could be there, but I blew my year’s budget going to AWP and in October, I’m going to The Sun conference just 4 hours up the road in Big Sur.

    My Dearest Marion,

    I am devastated that I am unable to attend The Tribe Conference to meet you. It would be too hot to fly in the cargo of the airplane in a pet carrier.

    If you are ever in Pennsylvania please come and visit me. You are always welcome in my home.
    xo
    Love Harper
