This episode is for the writer who has had to refine what they think memoir is. We’ve been sold a specific concept of memoir through publishing, and you’ve likely gone into the process with certain beliefs and ideas about the genre and the writing process. And then, to no one’s surprise, the experience of writing is so much different from what you had thought it would be. In today’s episode I’m going into four things that I had wrong about memoir and how reframing my beliefs about writing and the genre transformed both how I write and how I edit. Let’s go.
