ISSAQUAH HISTORICAL SOCIETY HOSTS AUTHOR, MEMOIRIST KIM PEARSON
 

Issaquah, Wash. – The Issaquah Historical Society will host a presentation by local author and memoirist Kim Pearson on Saturday, February 5 at 11am  at the Issaquah Depot. Pearson will share some of the ideas outlined in her upcoming book, Writing Your History: How to Remember, Record, Interpret and Share the Events of Your Life. Guests may also order signed copies of the publication in advance. This presentation is free of charge, and is open to the public.

The value of written memoirs is becoming widely recognized, helped along by the widespread popularity of genealogical research and scrap-booking. More and more people are discovering and recording the stories of their families. Pearson’s book gives instruction on how to write your life story, and also contains historical narratives and timelines. In addition to recording personal stories and memories, Writing Your History helps to give readers a better understanding of their own lives and times, and how they contributed and participated in them.

For more information about this presentation, contact the Issaquah Historical Society at (425) 392-3500 or (425) 392-3500. For more information on Kim Pearson’s publications and memoir work, go to www.primary-sources.com.
