Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We hope that our audience walks away with some ideas about how to star writing their own memoirs. We also hope that the topic of Melanie's book, growing up gay in the rural Midwest, will be better understood by our audience.
Participant evaluations/surveys will be collected.
Measurable Outcome(s)
"I learned what it could take to star writing--great tips--nicely presented."
"Follow your passion at any age."
"Not to self censor writing."
"Write like no one is ever going to read it!"
"To be brave and true when I write my memoir."
