Thank you to everyone who has backed our Kickstarter for Writing Memoir in Flashes by Lita Kurth. We appreciate your support!
If you’ve been thinking of backing and haven’t gotten around to it, there’s still time!
To give you a peek at the forthcoming book, we're sharing two short excerpts in the first Kickstarter update, which everyone can view. The first excerpt is a welcoming message from Lita, and the second is one of many creative ideas in this book for approaching writing memoir.
Writing Memoir in Flashes, Message from Lita Kurth
