Join award-winning author and memoir/history publisher Linda Hamilton as she discusses the rise of the memoir in popular literature and how the personal memoir became something we can all create and share with those we love — AND why doing so is important! 

Then we’ll get into the nuts and bolts: 

• Getting started with your memoir & keeping it going

• Options for focus; assessing your goals

• What to include and not include

• Different process options for writers and non-writers

• How to get your stories into book form (as well as other forms)

This tailored presentation is for anybody who’s like to share their own story, young, old and in-between or anyone who has an elderly parent or grandparent who’s story you’d love to hear and save!

Every place has a story. Knowing that story can make a hiking adventure even better!

Our trails embody incredible history here in the Bay Area. You can walk where Native Americans once brought tule boats ashore after fishing. Or where burly lumberjacks once chased escaped criminals through the redwoods. Where iconic movie scenes were filmed. Where once-thriving towns have returned to wild lands. Where hard-fought battles for land conservation were fought. Where native and non-native plants forge an ecological battle. And where fantastic ghost tales are abundant. Add adventure, intrigue and time travel to your next hike. Please join us and Linda Hamilton, author of multiple Bay Area hiking books and Camping Activity Book for Families, to hear the Tales of Bay Area Trails!
