The Secret Library Podcast

Writing from Personal Experience | Courtney Zoffness


Listen Later

The murky middle during memoir writing is one that deserves it’s own episode because you’re quite literally writing about your own life, so it can feel a bit more personal. I’m excited to have Courtney Zoffness, Sunday Times Short Story Award winner and author of Spilt Milk on the Secret Library today. She shares her decades long journey of authorship and how to stay encouraged, navigating the risk of sharing your work, knowing what material to include in your book, and more. If you’re feeling unsure of your own story as an author or you’re ready to tell your story, this episode is for you.
