Memoir Writing Workshop with Caitlin Shetterly

Are you ready to tell your story? Join author Caitlin Shetterly for a memoir writing workshop. Caitlin joined us for last year’s Big Read and the program was so well received, we’ve asked her back!

Shetterly is the author of three published books. “Modified: GMOs and the Threat to Our Food, Our Land, Our Future” (Putnam, 2016) won the Maine Literary Award for Best Nonfiction of 2017, was named one of “The Best Books of 2016” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “Top Pick of 2016” by Goop, and was published in both Germany and Korea. Shetterly also wrote “Made for You and Me: Going West, Going Broke and Finding Home” (Voice, 2011); and the Indie bestseller “Fault Lines: Stories of Divorce” (Putnam Berkely Group, 2001).

Shetterly writes regularly for The New York Times and her work has been featured in Orion, The New York Times Magazine, Elle, Self, DownEast and on the websites of Oprah.com, CNN.com and Medium.com. Caitlin has been a regular contributor to NPR and PRI, with stories on Weekend Edition, Morning Edition, This American Life, Studio 360 and various other public radio shows. From 2003-2007, Caitlin wrote the dating column for the Portland Phoenix.
