Letโs Talk Memoir season 3!
Iโve got a launch date for season 3 of Letโs Talk Memoir and am so pleased to announce it will be Tuesday, September 5th, 2023!
I took a few months off the air to read new memoirs, schedule guests, and begin interviews and I am thrilled to announce season 3 production is fully underway! Iโve already got a handful of interviews ready to go and am interviewing additional memoirists over these next months so I can bring you fresh content through Spring 2024. New episodes will be dropping every Tuesday and you wonโt want to miss my first guest โ one of our memoir greats.
Iโm so happy to see a steady stream of downloads even while the show has been on hiatus. This means your recommendations are helping the show reach new listeners. If youโve left a review on Apple podcasts (or your preferred podcast platform) thank you! If you havenโt yet, I would love to have your review. Clicking on some stars and writing a sentence or two about what you enjoy about Letโs Talk Memoir, helps other listeners find the show.
New work
I have two new pieces that will be out soon, a craft article on writing scenes in memoir and a creative nonfiction flash essay. I will post links on my socials as soon as they are live. Very excited to share these with you!
