Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) welcomes memoirist Elissa Altman and Dorset author Caren McVicker for an insightful conversation about granting ourselves permission to write the stories we’re compelled to tell, even when we’ve been told we shouldn’t. After writing three critically acclaimed memoirs and a decade of teaching memoir writing workshops at every level, Elissa Altman has helped students face the elephant in every writer’s room: how to craft the stories that are most vital to them despite the voices that have told them not to. Elissa’s book ‘Permission’ will be available for purchase at the event and at our local Northshire Bookstore. Registration is $15 per person. For more information or to register, please call 802-867-0111 or visit our website at greenmtnacademy.org.
