Memoir News Roundup
1. Contest: Women’s memoirs is excited to announce the winners of our Fall Memoir Writing Contest. We love reading all the entries and always find it hard to make decisions. We will publish these stories not on our website but in an ebook that will be available through Amazon. See the list below and be sure to congratulate these winners. They all did a great job of evoking memories of the fall season and what it has meant in their lives.
Missed this contest but want to have us consider your work? Our current contest focuses on Winter memories and stories. Be sure to go to: Memoir Contests and scroll down until you find the information about our 2012 Winter contest. The deadline is December 31.

3. Cyber Monday Special
All week we’ve been hinting at what we’re going to do for Cyber Monday. Last year, we had a big Black Friday sale and many of our regulars took advantage of the special prices we offered. This year we decided to do something quite different…a free gift.
Rather than waiting until Black Friday or Cyber Monday, we’re going to announce our offer on Monday, Nov 19th, one week before Cyber Monday. So be sure to return here — WomensMemoirs.com — to learn about a very special, limited-time offer.
You won’t want to miss this…you won’t believe what you will get for free…and to ensure you don’t forget, let us help you. Take a second and sign up for our Weekly Blog Digest. That way we can send you a reminder. The sign-up form is in the column to your right. This is the biggest offering Women’s Memoirs has ever made. If you love memoir, like we do, you won’t want to miss this.
