DIANNE De La VEGA serving on a Panel Discussion:
Biographies & Memoirs at the Independent Writers of Southern CA
Monday, July 27
7:30 to 9 p.m.

Every life tells a story!
Whether you're thinking of putting the story of your own life down on paper, or writing a profile of a historical or celebrity figure you've long admired — or just one of the millions of readers who devour books on history or Hollywood — this panel is for you.

Our moderated panel discussion will feature both those who have found the courage to tell their own life stories, plus top industry "names" who have written about celebrity and political figures.

What secrets do they share? What qualities do editors, literary agents, and book-buyers look for in a biography or memoir? What kinds of techniques make a true-life story as interesting and relevant as a good novel or movie? And what about the "hoax memoir" scandals — how have they affected the landscape?

This July's panel promises a lively discussion, plus provide plenty of time for questions and networking. It's also our last panel before the IWOSC Summer Party, so come on by!
