A Presentation from Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance

With Elizabeth Garber, Julia Bouwsma, and Linda Buckmaster.

Join three Maine authors as they describe their experiences researching for their recent books and using the material in their writing. Maine Poet Laureate Julia Bouwsma, memoirist Elizabeth Garber, and prose writer and poet Linda Buckmaster will talk about family documents and objects, interviewing participants, tapping into personal experience, ephemera, museums, serendipity, and of course, books. They’ll touch on issues of copyright and permissions, incorporating imagery, and book design. An important concern is how to choose the relevant material to use from an excess of information.

PLEASE NOTE This talk will occur online via Zoom. Attendees do not need to create an account to participate, but should test out Zoom before the presentation if they are first-time users. The presenter and MWPA staff will not have the capacity to help attendees with tech issues during the talk.

This talk is free for MWPA members and $5 for nonmembers.
