NICU parent turned author looking to connect with book clubs
Hi All! My daughter, Evelyn, was born in 2015 at 32 weeks. She was also born with a condition (AMC) that causes low muscle tone. As not only a mother to a preemie, but also a writer and advocate, I wrote a memoir about our journey. Memoir is such a great genre in that it isn't about my story, but rather it's about how readers can relate to it and find some understanding and connection through it.
Since my memoir came out last year, I have done many literary events, but only just recently did my first book club at a local library. I loved it. While the participants were older, they were very much into a discussion of pregnancy issues, the medical field, and what writing about these topics is like and what it can do to bring humanity closer together. I'll link to my website in case you'd like more info on me or how to contact me. I'd love to meet you and hear your stories!
