SPEAKER 6:45: Valarie Foster, Memoirist, Educator, Award-winning Author

Valerie Foster is an award-winning educator and memoirist who taught high school and college for over thirty years. Her first book, The Risk of Sorrow: Conversations with Holocaust Survivor, Helen Handler, is now archived in five countries.

Her second book, Dancing with a Demon, released August 2017, was named Best Non-Fiction Narrative by the American Book Fest.

 

Presentation: “Nevertheless She Persisted”

 

When Valerie, the writing teacher, turned into Valerie the author, she quickly learned that the most important first step in the writing process is to know both your personal truth and a universal truth. No matter the genre, giving voice to both of these is where our power lies.

Valerie will share how she harnessed the grit to use this power.
