Writing Your Book with Erin Summers Norman

Join us as beloved Keeping It Sacred member, Erin Summers Norman, shares about her experiences writing her memoir over the past 28 years.  She covers her life across two continents: learning that her father was adopted from a Jewish family, his service in Vietnam, and her journey back to Judaism through conversion under the auspices of our own Rabbi Miller. In the session, she will also reflect on her process of self-sharing—from her time of publishing her first draft with a publisher in 2015, to her reclaiming her story, and decision to self-publish her rework with the title of Samizdat (forthcoming). Samizdat is the Russian word for “self-publishing” and can be understood through the lens of social justice— with an emphasis on encouraging folks of all walks of life to tell their own story and not be discouraged— giving voice to the voiceless. Join us for this program of discovery and empowerment: Monday, Sept 30, 10am PT/1pm ET. 

No experience necessary. All are welcome!
