    60: Your Blindspots Are Killing Your Memoir

    This episode is for the writer who doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. If you are feeling stuck, feeling that block, but can’t put your finger on why, then you’re probably right in the middle of a blindspot. And the hard thing about blindspots is that they can sabotage your memoir without you even realizing it. I want to dig into that today and shine some light on what you might not know you don’t know.

    58: What to Do With Your Shitty First Draft

    This episode is for the writer who has what novelist Ann Lamott has coined the “shitty first draft.” You’ve written thousands and thousands of words, and truth be told, it’s not that great.

    57: How One Author Went from Crickets to Published Memoir

I’m talking to the writer who wants to be an author, holding their published book in their hands and connecting with real readers on the other side.

    56: Why Not Everything in Your Memoir Actually Matters

    This episode is for the writer who is operating under the misconception that every single detail and story has to be included in her manuscript for her memoir to be true. This is a common misunderstanding about memoir, and the truth of this is that if you can create an editorial strategy or filter for your manuscript, it will be clear which stories belong in your memoir and which ones don’t. I’ll explain more in the episode. Let’s get into it! Unlock instant access to all four mini masterclasses inside the Memoir Strategy Collection here.

    55: Why Readers Don't Want to Read Your Memoir

    This episode is for the writer who has received some lackluster feedback. Maybe she’s already invested in an editor, but they didn’t tell her how to fix any of the manuscript’s problems. This episode is all about the importance of developing an author’s perspective and how that will translate into the work you do in revisions. Let’s get into it. So, after I recorded this episode I actually changed the title to our next mini masterclass! Memoir vs. Autobiography is now Thinking Like an Author: The Mindset Shift to Unlock Your Memoir. It's this mentality that is really what I want to get into with you (and this includes differentiating between memoir and autobiography!). Enroll in Thinking Like an Author for just $37. (Or enroll in all four mini masterclasses here.) Thinking Like a Writer will be held live on Thursday, January 30, at 1:00 p.m. PST. If you can't attend live, no worries! The replay will be uploaded later that day. If you're watching this after January 30, 2024, that same link will give you instant access!

    54: The Real Reason Your Memoir Manuscript Is Overwhelming

    This episode is for the writer who is over-editing and over-writing (you know who you are!).

But what ends up happening is that you actually just spend your time in the same passages not making any real progress at all. This episode is for you. Enroll in Memoir Clarity for just $37. Or enroll in all of the mini masterclasses here. Memoir Clarity will be held live on Thursday, January 23, at 1:00 p.m. PST, with the replay available within 24 hours.
