In this episode, I talk about memoirs, and how identifying themes can help your words connect with your readers, rather than burdening them with a therapy session.

I discuss a few memoirs including:

Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy

Fairyland; a Memoir of my Father by Alysia Abbot

Darkness Visible; a Memoir of Madness by William Styron

The offer stands -- if you're working on a memoir and want some book recommendations, shoot me an email at [email protected]. Just write "Memoir" in the subject line, and let me know what you're writing about.

Finally, if you're enjoying this pod, please consider rating and reviewing it in your podcast app! Thank you so much.
