Just listened to an episode about writing memoir, which is what I’ve been doing for the last seven years (and it’s but a slice of life!). I find it’s extremely challenging to do it well and make it work for readers. I appreciated the thoughtful and honest insights offered here, while blowing a few concepts.
It was great to be a guest on this show, and I’m excited to catch up on a bunch of other episodes. It tackles some of the angles of writing and storytelling that you don’t often think about, with lively, entertaining discussion.
So informative and well done!
As a first time author I find these episodes highly informative and helpful. They are also enjoyable to listen to due to being well presented and the wit and charisma of the hosts.
Wayne is an incredible interviewer. He's well-researched and arrives prepared. Our chat flowed easily, and I enjoyed every moment of our discussion. Thank you for having me as a guest. I'm excited to return.
