"A panel of judges reviewed 160 entries and ten finalists were chosen. These ten winners along with additional top writers from previous memoir showcases have their written pieces included in the upcoming 2018 SDMWA Memoir Anthology - Shaking the Tree - brazen. short. Memoir". - Marni Freedman
"The 10 Winning writers were assigned a writing coach in July for a month to refine their theme and cut or polish their piece. One of two professional directors (Hannah Logan and Tracy Jones) were assigned to each of the winning writers. After the Director's audition and casting process, the writers, directors and actor will have collaborative round table discussions. The director will take the notes from the collaborative round table and work with the actor/actress. The memoirs will ultimately be directed and then performed on the stage on October 22nd". - Kristen Fogle
