Let's Talk Memoir
SEASON 2, LAUNCHING SOON
Season 2 of Let’s Talk Memoir is almost here! I’m excited to bring you all of the episodes I’ve been working on. These episodes cover voice, sharing family secrets, braided memoir, nonlinear memoir, what it’s like to move from other creative disciplines to memoir, advocating for our work and of course so much more.
Season 2 of Let’s Talk Memoir will begin on November 15! That’s Tuesday, November 15th and new episodes will come out weekly.
If you have questions about memoir or about how memoirists craft their narratives, or anything at all that you would like covered on the show, there’s still time to send me a note with your question or topic suggestion. You can find me on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook @RonitPlank and you can also message me on my website ronitplank.com.
It’s been a lot of fun to read your reviews and notes about season 1 and makes creating this podcast that much more rewarding. If you haven’t yet left a review on Apple podcasts or Spotify it’s not too late. Every review helps others find the show.
And if you know a writer or a memoir aficionado who would appreciate this podcast, please share it. Podcasts really depend on word of mouth and listener enthusiasm. Thank you so much for being here and I just can’t wait to drop episode one on Tuesday, November 15!
