Greetings, readers. NEWS: It’s official. I’m now a member of the Florida Writers Speakers Bureau
What does this mean?
I’m on the list of qualified persons to share presentations about memoir writing or the writing life with groups sponsored by the Florida Writers Association (FWA).
A few years ago before this bureau was instituted, I gave a few talks to FWA writers groups in person and online. One was about Undertow (when it first came out), another on the art of memoir writing, and another offering tips on sharing your book in public. Now I’m official and FWA members can find me listed as an approved speaker.
SIDENOTE: I am retired from giving in-person public presentations soley about my cult story, Undertow, to audiences unfamiliar with it. However, from time to time, I meet with college students assigned to read the book. Here’s one of my blogs about that:

Thanks, Rob. I’m excited to be part of keeping FWA’s motto alive, “Writers Helping Writers.”

Wonderful news! Congratulations. May your story and writing insights continue to meaningfully help people sort through their own challenges.

Thank you, Steve. It’s really an honor to do this: sharing what I’ve learned.
