Discovering Your Book’s Structure with Carrie Sun


Listen Later

Ever wondered how the competitive world of finance could be critiqued through a deeply personal lens? 

In this episode of Bookbound, Carrie Sun talks about her journey in writing her first book and memoir, Private Equity, which has garnered significant acclaim. Carrie shares her journey from an MFA student to a celebrated author, highlighting how her experiences influenced her narrative approach. She discusses the initial challenge of balancing personal and professional themes and ultimately finding a voice that resonates universally. 

The conversation also touches on valuable insights and restructuring advice from her agent Mel, which transformed her book from an experimental format to a compelling chronological structure. Carrie reveals the cathartic process of writing her book during the pandemic, the importance of editorial feedback, and the heartfelt message about understanding one’s relationship with money and work.
