The Way of Memoir

A memoir could be the most important thing you ever try to write. It's not an easy journey. It takes courage and introspection, and well some grasp of your memories. In this episode, the storied Catherine Ann Jones joins Kathleen and Adanna to discuss the craft of a memoir. Catherine delivers tons of information on building your story. Even when you think, "maybe my life hasn't been interesting enough," you're probably wrong. That's where bravery comes in, to dig deep and get it out there.

This episode is filled with Catherine's journey from New York to Hollywood, how she took childhood moments and significant career achievements, weaving them into her memoirs, and turned them all into teachable material. In addition, she has taught multiple workshops on writing, and her book, The Way of Story, has helped many writers dig deep and find their path to storytelling. 

If you've been struggling to write your memoir or can't figure out why a memoir vs. autobiography, or even how they differ, this is the episode for you.
