A note from HVWG member Mark Berger: “Looking to start a peer-to-peer memoir writers group to meet regularly at a place and time to be determined. The goal is to help members write personal stories or a complete book. As a guide, we would use Marion Roach Smith’s The Memoir Project. Please contact me at [email protected].”

Call for Submissions: 2025 Queer Poetry Prize
Nancy Klepsch and Shawn McCann, in collaboration with TAP, Inc. and the NYS Writers Institute, invite submissions for the 2025 Queer Poetry Prize & Mural Contest.
Ever since the granddaughters started asking, “Grandma what did you do for fun when you were a kid?” I started to write little vignettes and memoir pieces depicting the different lifestyle I had.
“Wow, no TV, no iPad, no car?”
“Things were quite different then.”
And so it goes.
