Julie & Julia Week at Women’s Memoir Writing

by Kendra Bonnett on December 28, 2009

catnav-interviews-active-3Post #33 – Women’s Memoirs, Author Conversations – Kendra Bonnett and Matilda Butler

This is treat week at Women’s Memoirs. I think most of us are in that period of limbo that only comes once a year. We’re either enjoying the quiet after the Christmas rush, or Mastering the Artwaiting patiently to launch ourselves madly into that clean slate we call the New Year—full of aspirations, resolutions and wonder at what it holds for us. Then, again, maybe you’re feeling a little of both. We’ve decided to use this time to have a little fun and hint at some of the new things coming to Women’s Memoirs in 2010.

Monday is our usual interview day. We don’t have a new author interview for you this week, but don’t worry. Our hiatus is coming to an end. We will start a new Author Conversations series on January 4th. [click to continue…]
