Kim Bancroft taught for three decades at high schools and universities before turning her teaching and editing skills to the creation of memoirs. She began with the work of her great-great-grandfather, historian of the Pacific West, Hubert Howe Bancroft, condensing his 1890 memoir into Literary Industries, published by Heyday in 2014. She also helped tell the story of Heyday’s founder with The Heyday of Malcolm Margolin: The Damn Good Times of a Fiercely Independent Publisher, winner of the California Book Award. Her recent editing projects include Same School, Different Class: A Dual Memoir about School Integration, written with David Waddell and Priscilla Hunter: Building a Tribal Nation, written with Hunter (Pomo). Writing Themselves into History represents ten years of library research and gathering family stories from across California.
