This podcast is a great resource for aspiring memoir writers like myself. She covers the various aspects of memoir writing and encourages me to keep going. Both the interview style and lecture style of the episodes have been incredibly helpful. Keep making more episodes, please.
I’ve taken Mara’s Unearthing Beauty class and yet I learn something new and helpful every single time I listen to her. Her enjoyment, knowledge, and passion goes far beyond writing only. She is wise and always learning.
This podcast is a great resource for any writer or aspiring writer. I enjoy that Mara discusses some of the theory and more conceptual ideas of writing, but also provides some practical advice that can be applied immediately.
