If you like to read and write memoir you are in the right place... Come and join my community and learn a little more about what's on offer. Hope to meet you in the comments!
Hi Lily, I subscribed to your Substack because I wanted to join in the Zoom but then when I found out it's in the wrong time zone, I unsubscribed. I noticed your page briefly where you were examining interesting things like the use of photos in memoir. A message said I could still access it for the next month but I don't seem to be able to access it any more even though I paid for a month. Do I need to pay for this month again to read those?
Hi Catherine, I imagine if you’ve paid for the month you should still be able to access the archive. Unless they’re reimbursing you the month’s fee? I think you’ll need to get in touch with Substack about that.
6pm in which time zone? I would love to attend but finances are really tight, so I don't want to upgrade to paid subscription unless I am free at that time
Hi Ricky, the Memoir Club is through @London Lit Lab , not my personal substack - which is confusing, I know! So you ideally need to be a paid subscriber to the London Lit Lab Substack - but it’s a very easy mistake to make and I will make an exception for you. I will send you the zoom link via DM. I will also be doing a Zoom meet up on my personal substack, which you have kindly paid a sub for - but it is for writers writing memoir and with a work in progress. It will be happening at the start of December. Alternatively, you can ask for a refund and join the London Lit Lab Substack if easier.
Thank you for your quick reply, Lily! I am a bit confused I admit. I wanted to subscribe to your And a Dog, which I take to be about memoir. You had been recommended to me by Clare Elwell. I am interested in memoir and will be guided by you as to what I shoudl sign up to. It's very kind of you to let me join tomorrow. I am grateful! Not sure what you mean by DM. To my email address? Thank you, thank you!
You’re in the right place for memoir - and how nice my substack was recommended. And I’ll send you the link for the session tomorrow, which is via @London Lit Lab - which is a partnership I run. But this here - And a Dog - is my personal Substack and is concerned with memoir. (London Lit Lab more generally is a platform for courses we run, and is not specifically memoir, although the Memoir Club is running via them tomorrow). I will send you the link for tomorrow’s session via your email. DM is direct message which we can do here - but I also have your email so will use that.
I’ve just sent the email I sent you yesterday via direct message here so you now have it. You’ll need to read the essay before the session. Let me know if you can’t see it.
How do I join your Zoom session tomorrow, 20th Nov? And, did my payment go through? I put in my detaisl but didn't get a confirmation screen, which was confusing...
I am excited by the idea of the WiP Surgery. I am sure it will help me maintain my oomph and connecting with others is always good for the soul and the writing.
Hi Margi, I am just pinning down dates for the WIP Surgery. I think the first one will be Wednesday 4th December at 6pm. I will be confirming in a post in the next few days. It will be for paid subscribers.
Hi Lily, Having overcome my confusion re both my subscriptions,and attempting to avoid creating IT issues (on my part), having now subscribed, I have signed into tonight's session using the link Ricky received earlier this week. I feel a little uncomfortable having done so, but have salved my conscience knowing I have paid and am not trying to do anything I shouldn't be doing. Clare.
Thank you Lily for a great hour - informative and motivating! Looking forward to the next surgery.
Thank you Clare!

What time/ day do you hold your memoir surgery please?
Hi Paula, the first one will be held Wednesday 4th December, 6pm. I will aim to do them monthly on a Wednesday
6pm in which time zone? I would love to attend but finances are really tight, so I don't want to upgrade to paid subscription unless I am free at that time
Hi Phyllis, it’s 6pm GMT - hope you’re able to attend!
Thanks! I've just subscribed. Looking forward to this!
Ah, just found receipt in my inbox, please ignore the bit about payment!

Hi Lily
I haven't received a link for the Zoom which starts in 40 mins, so now feeling a little anxious...
I’ve just sent the email I sent you yesterday via direct message here so you now have it. You’ll need to read the essay before the session. Let me know if you can’t see it.
DM here - oh, where is that? sorry to be dense...
Oh strange! I emailed it to you. Can you check your spam? I emailed it yesterday
I checked my spam and all through my inbox.

Be good to see you there! It will be on Wednesday 4th December, but I’m yet to make that public.
Sounds great, Lily! Looking forward to it
Thanks for the audio introduction When is this months memoir zoom?

Ok thanks for letting me know!
