R253. Amazon Publishing Presents Little A Authors and the Craft of Memoir

Room 14, Tampa Convention Center, First Floor
Thursday, March 8, 2018
3:00 pm to 4:15 pm

 

How do you explore country, globalism, and family and make one cohesive story? How do you decide which memories to trust? What’s it like to talk about personal experiences with fans on Twitter? How do you promote memoir in the digital age? Join the authors behind Little A, Amazon Publishing’s literary imprint, for a conversation about their memoirs and the path to publication. Authors will share their stories.
