Press Release for Masters of Ceremonies

Hello, I am David Henry Sterry, best-selling author of Master of Ceremonies: A True Story of Love, Murder, Roller Skates, and Chippendales, and I am embarking on an 18 event tour, from San Francisco to Manhattan to Miami to Hollywood to New Jersey, place of my birth. The event is called Art of the Memoir, and I’m so excited to be sharing a podium with an all-star Who’s Who of memoirists and memoir experts: New York Times bestseller and TV icon Chelsea Handler, international storytelling sensation Mike Daisy, Bay Area legends Beth Lisick and Alan Black, James Beard Award winner Laura Schenone, mega-agent James Levine, Distinguished Professor Jeff Berman, and book superguru Arielle Eckstut. There will be performances. Then we’ll be talking about how the memoir has evolved as an art form, and as a cultural phenomenon. Why do so many Americans feel the need to write a memoir? Is this the new 15 minutes of fame? What makes a good memoir? What makes a bad memoir? Then we’ll have some crazy Q & A’s. So here’s the skinny on the tour and the new book. Thanks, David Henry Sterry
