Welcome to another Topic Chat at The Writer’s Chatroom.

May is Memoir Month and we have added Personal Essays to broaden our target audience. On a writerly whim, I am adding Journaling to group. Journaling is something almost every girl with a diary has experienced and can relate to. You know, the Manifesto is another topic familiar to every unhappy, defiant and hormonally charged male teenager or young adult.

Of these four forms of writing, I suspect a Journal is least likely to be published and the Manifesto begs for recognition and depending on who is looking, it can beg for attention or serve as a cautionary tale.

Let’s talk about Journaling. Do you like a nice book with an equally nice cover on your journal? Maybe, you use a 70 page college ruled spiral notebook with a green cover.

Journaling can also be done on a sketchpad or through our phone cameras.

Come to chat at 7PM EDT on Sunday.

Earlier, I was wondering if publishers are accepting submissions for Memoirs. I put a few words into Google and found that there are, indeed, publishers interested in Memoirs.
