Rewriting Your Story with Nicole Graev Lipson & Virginia DeLuca
Have a story you’ve been meaning to write or rewrite? Join us for a thoughtful, inspiring evening with memoirists Nicole Graev Lipson and Virginia DeLuca as they talk about shaping the stories we inherit, the ones we survive, and the ones we choose to tell.
In conversation with acclaimed author and moderator Laura Zigman, Nicole and Virginia will dive into the art of memoir: finding your voice, making sense of change, and putting lived experience onto the page. These techniques will be contextualized through the lens of their own releases:
Mothers and Other Fictional Characters — In this honest and intimate USA Today bestseller, Nicole Graev Lipson untangles what it means to be a woman, a lover, a partner, and a mother in a world all too ready to reduce us to stock characters.
If You Must Go, I Wish You Triplets — an unflinching exploration of love and relationships from a woman who ultimately found that life can expand in imagined and unanticipated ways by Virginia DeLuca.
The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A, helping untangle the curiosities that arise while working on (or dreaming about) a memoir of your own.
Afterward, stick around for a book signing, and feel free to bring a notebook. We’ll invite you to settle into a cozy corner of the store and start sketching out your own story while the ideas are still buzzing. We’ll have writing prompts on hand to help you get started.
Whether you’re an aspiring writer or simply love a great conversation about storytelling and life, this is an evening for anyone curious about the power of memoir.
