Join author Graeme Gibson at the Mount Gambier Library on Saturyda, August 19, as he discusses his approach to memoir, some of the things he has learnt while presenting writing workshops, and how he decided what to include – and exclude – from his memoir in \u2018In Life There is Luck\u2019.<\/p>\n
The companion \u2018Pocket Guide to Memoir Writing\u2019 has been reviewed and described as \u201ceverything a novice needs in the way a novice needs it.<\/p>\n
