Dear Reader:
At Memoir Journal, few things make us feel more human than sharing our experiences. Personal narratives show both how we are unique and how we are connected, and our goal is to join in the global tradition of storytelling by gathering and publishing a broad range of such narratives. Imagine sitting in a circle at dusk, warmed by a fire, passing the worn-smooth talking stick from hand to hand; we offer Memoir (and) as an on-the-page version of such a community, creating opportunities to listen and to share. We hope that you will pass these stories from hand to hand for months and years to come.
We rely on volunteers, staff. and subscribers to keep our fires burning. We invite you to become a part of our community by subscribing to Memoir(and) or by gifting a subscription to a friend or organization. They will thank you, as do we.
Regards,
Claudia Sternbach
Editor in Chief
