A win for the memoirists! I told myself that applying for grants etc was good practice for articulating what my project was + developing a thick skin. I was shocked to get a YES! Esp now w/all the senseless arts cuts. Books + writing saved me. They will save others. We have to protect them. 🙏

I have dream and it’s to make the memoir section closer to the high-traffic parts of the bookstore and not by the broom closet and dusty textbooks on the third floor, per Barnes & Noble Union Square. Who’s with me?
