About Me

My photo
Ruth Zaryski Jackson
Ontario, Canada
Ruth has written stories and poems when younger, then academic papers or reports as a student, a researcher and later an Historical Planner. She started writing memoir when she realized she needed to tell her story, not only to her children, but also to her younger siblings whose childhoods differed greatly from hers. She has improved her craft taking on-line courses with U3A, Ryerson University and Days Road Writers. Allyson Latta's gentle support was instrumental in having her first story published in 2008 in "The Wisdom of Old Souls", an anthology about Grandmothers. In 2010 two of her poems were published in "Grandmothers' Necklace". Ruth's forthcoming memoir is called: "Missing Sadie, Missing Myself: Memories of a Childhood". ©Ruth Zaryski Jackson, Memoir Writer's World/memoirwritersworld.blogspot.com 2008-2024.
