06: Why You (and Your Readers) Need Your Book to Have a Thesis
As you'll hear, Ginny and I had a different episode planned today! Thwarted by technology, I'm coming to you solo today to talk about what a thesis in memoir is, why you need one, and how a thesis will guide the reader's experience with your book.
05: You’re Not Too Young to Write a Memoir
I get spicy in today’s episode and go to bat for our young writers. We start off talking about Taylor Swift and go into the harm in gatekeeping memoir, rounding off with advice for the young memoirist. I’d love to know your take on young memoirists!
04: Memoir Rundown of From the Ashes by Jesse Thistle

03: What “Your Story Matters” Really Means
We are taking a pivot this week! Episode 03 was supposed to be a conversation with Ginny and me all about our first memoir read, From the Ashes, but Covid had other plans. So instead I share what I really mean when I say that “your story matters” (and you’ll hear me say this all the time).
02: The Memoir Method Framework
In this episode, I take you through what The Memoir Method Framework actually is and how I help writers apply these principles to their writing!
