October 7 will bring the sixth anniversary of First Monday, First Person, my monthly local salon for people who write in the first person. Growing up in the midwest, I’m steeped in the traditions of fall harvests, from the local festivals to the seasonal foods on the table. (Bring on the pumpkin pie!)

This blog serves as a virtual salon for memoir writers. Now is the season of story harvest–send me your true stories, well told!

Here are the guidelines. Send your stories to sarah.white@firstpersonprod.com.
