126: The 3 Best Breakthroughs of The Memoir Method Winter 2026 Cohort

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 15:00:39 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is wondering what actually happens inside of a Memoir Method cohort. This winter was my first time hosting The Memoir Method as a cohort since 2024, and I’m so glad I brought it back. What might surprise you is that the best part of this program isn’t the writing that happens, and that’s what I want to get into today. Let’s go!

125: When to Run from a Memoir Editor

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:00:08 GMT

This episode is really for the writer who has been burned before. You’ve worked with other editors, and you feel like you’re stumbling your way through the dark. You don’t know who you can trust, and you’re terrified of, at best, wasting your time and money, and at worst, being taken advantage of. And the worst part is that you don’t even know if you can trust the people you’re working with. Today’s episode will outline a clear litmus test for evaluating editors, red and green flags to watch for, and what to do if you’re paralyzed and don’t know where to go next. Let’s get into it.

This episode is for the writer who wants to take themselves seriously as a memoir writer. This is not a hobby for you. It’s not something you’re ambivalent about.

Today’s episode is for you. Let’s go!

This super short episode is a wake-up call for the memoir writer who is looking for an editor to save them, and in the process you’ve wasted hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars on editors and programs.

122: What’s Actually Happening When You’re Overwhelmed with Your Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 16:00:43 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is feeling that overwhelm: every time you think about your memoir your chest tightens, because you’re not nearly as far along as you think you should be. I’m talking to the writer who can’t let their memoir go but who also is feeling crushed under the weight of what you’ve written. Today I want to reframe overwhelm for you, so that you can see it as a tool instead of a block. Let’s get into it.

121: What If Your Memoir Is Boring?

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:00:36 GMT

This episode could be for two different types of writers: Maybe you’re actually a really good writer. You’re confident in your writing. You know how to turn a phrase. Or maybe you’re writing your memoir and worried about not being a good enough writer. (Most of my clients fall into one of these two camps.) So what I’m going into in today’s episode is going to ask you to examine your writing in a new way, because the truth is that just because something is well written doesn’t automatically make it interesting. Today’s episode is going deep into the nuances behind both a good memoir and one that is well-written. So let’s get started.

120: The Biggest Mistake I Made as a Memoir Editor

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 16:00:03 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is overwhelmed at all the different steps of publishing and needs a guide, not just an editor. The story behind this episode comes from work I did in the earlier days of this business, and I learned a lesson that I’ve taken with me into how I support, work with, and interact with writers now. The way that I move as a memoir editor and writing coach now is a direct response to this mistake I made almost four years ago. Let’s dive in.

119: The Secret to a Published Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 16:00:10 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is overwhelmed whenever you look at the publishing pipeline. There are so many thresholds to cross, gates to enter, and milestones to reach that what you thought would be a marathon is more akin to a super marathon, or multiple marathons run back to back. “Published author” may feel far in the future, but I want to offer you a reframe in this episode that will revolutionize how you approach not just the publishing process but the entire drafting and editing process as well.

118: The Key to Feeling Like a Real Writer

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 16:00:40 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is grappling with imposter syndrome. It happens to the best of us, and at least for me, that imposter syndrome led to a years-long creative famine where not only did I not write a single word, I also didn’t even consider myself a writer anymore. This episode gets a little personal, but I’m sharing the surprising key that pulled me out of that spiral and got me writing again. Let’s get started.

117: Why Writing Your Memoir Matters When the World Is Falling Apart

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 16:00:35 GMT

This episode is for the writer who has been doom-scrolling more than they’ve been writing. The headlines this month have been sobering, maddening, and frustrating. I’ve found myself at a loss for how to enact real change in areas that matter to me, and what’s come through on my end is an even greater conviction in this work. Consider this episode your invitation and call to take your story seriously in a world that feels like it’s falling apart. Let’s talk about it.

This episode is for the writer who wants to actually finish their memoir manuscript. This episode is also part of a four-part series that I’m running here on the podcast that I’m calling the 12-Month Memoir. Over the holidays I was thinking about you and what you might want heading into the new year, and what came through was a month-by-month plan for how to use your time, energy, and money as a memoir writer so that by the end of twelve months, you’ll have a finished memoir draft in hand, ready to move into publication. You can catch up on part 1–3 back in episode 113–115. Today we’re getting into our fourth and final installment! Let’s get started.

111: Make 2026 Your Author Year

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 16:00:30 GMT

This episode is for the writer who wants to finish their memoir in 2026. You’ve already invested years and years into this work, and you just want to be finished with your draft. Heading into 2026, this is what I want for you: Yes, I want you to finish your memoir manuscript. I also want you to love it. The thing is that if writing your way worked, you’d have finished and published by now. So let’s talk about why this is and how to shift it going into 2026.

110: The Moment Every Memoir Writer Waits For (and How to Make It Happen for You)

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 16:00:01 GMT

This episode is for the writer who has thought about throwing in the towel, but something keeps stopping you from giving up. Maybe you think about publishing your memoir, but often you can’t even think that far ahead. What you are actually waiting for is a moment in the drafting process that I’m going to highlight today, and hopefully this small perspective shift can make your writing feel more do-able to you. Ultimately I want this episode to serve as a lighthouse to you when writing feels hard and frustrating. Let’s get into it.

109: Why it Works (or Not)—The Light that Shines Through, Part 1

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 16:00:17 GMT

This episode is part of a series where I take already published memoir and break down what works and why (and what doesn’t work and why). I’ve found that when I’m teaching my Memoir Method concepts to my writers, they benefit from seeing how these principles play out in memoir that you can find at the bookstore. This month I’m looking at the self-published memoir, The Light that Shines Through: One Woman’s Journey of Healing and Stepping into Her Power by Shawna Thibodeau.

108: Good Memoir Isn’t the Same as Good Writing

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 16:00:04 GMT

This episode is for the writers who know they’re really good writers. You know how to turn a phrase. You know how to tap into your voice and you have a style. You love the craft of writing, and you know that the quality of your writing is exemplary. I say this with so much love, friend: Just because you’re a good writer doesn’t mean that you’re going to write a good memoir. Today I’ll show you the missing piece in the creativity of memoir so that you can write a beautiful memoir that is also a good memoir. Let’s get into it.

107: Why Discipline Won’t Help You Finish Your Memoir in 2026

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 16:00:40 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is actually really good at sitting down to write. Procrastination probably isn’t your kryptonite (at least when you’ve made writing a habit). I can bet that you’re disciplined and committed to the projects that matter to you. You wouldn’t have even considered writing your memoir if you didn’t have some chutzpah behind it! But, for reasons you can’t quite figure out, you’re still not finished. And it’s starting to drive you crazy. Let’s talk about it. (And stick around until the end of the episode, because I’m announcing something new and fun and it comes with a little holiday sparkle!)

106: The Moment My Clients Pay For

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 16:00:53 GMT

This episode is for the writer desperate to reconnect to her memoir. You’ve felt meh about your memoir for months, and you’ve realized that you hate feeling that way about your story. You hate feeling frustrated and discouraged about this manuscript that actually means so much to you. I walk my clients through very deep and vulnerable moments of doubt and discouragement, and without fail, when they reach a certain point, they skyrocket. Today I’m bringing you behind the curtain so that you can see when this happens and when it can happen for you too. Let’s get started.

104: How to Stop Overworking Your Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:00:19 GMT

This episode is for the writer who keeps coming back to the same chapters to rewrite. I won’t ask you to tell me how many drafts you’ve worked through, but I’ll chance a guess that it’s more than three or four. I’ve seen this happen with brilliant writers, and it’s a spiral that will cannibalize your offer. You can get to a point where you’re OVER editing, OVER working your memoir, and you’ve lost the plot. Let’s talk about it.

102: The Real Reason You Can’t Shortcut Your Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 16:00:57 GMT

This episode is for the writer who thinks that if they just found the right editor then they could make sense of their memoir. When creativity gets hard, it sometimes stops being fun, and when that happens, you start wondering if there isn’t an easier way to make this memoir happen. Spoiler alert, there isn’t a shortcut. You do have to do the hard part. But the way you walk through the hard part? That’s where we get to play and that’s what we’re diving into today. Let’s get into it.

101: Why Your Editor Couldn’t Fix Your Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:00:02 GMT

This episode is for the writer who has been burned by editors before. You’ve invested time, money, and trust into an editor, and you feel if not betrayed, at least disillusioned. Your memoir isn’t any closer to being finished and now your document is marked up with comments and changes that you don’t know what to do with. Today I want to dive into why that is and how to re-empower yourself as the author seeking support.

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 15:00:26 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is embarrassed to tell me how many times you’ve rewritten your draft. You’re committed and resilient, but yet that’s not resulting in a manuscript that you’re proud of and want others to read. The big reframe we get to explore today is that rewriting is not the same as revising. This is a big one, so let’s get into it.

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 15:00:24 GMT

This episode is for the writer who makes time to write and is committed to her memoir, but still isn’t making any progress. If willpower could finish and publish your memoir, my job as a writing coach and editor would look a lot different. In today’s episode, I’ll show you why willpower actually isn’t your problem and how this reframe can refresh your entire writing process. Let’s get into it.

This episode is for the writer who sits down at her computer and realizes that she’s not having fun anymore. You may have started off feeling lit up, inspired, and creative, but now everything feels flat. You’re opening your document because you feel like you have to, not because you actually want to or feel that you’re making progress. But here’s the thing: You won’t ever finish if you’re writing to check a box. So today I want to help you tap back into what it would feel like to come at your memoir draft with creativity again.

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 15:00:14 GMT

This episode is for the writer who has looked into an editor and is intimidated by the average investment required to partner with a publishing professional. I know that there can be some sticker shock, especially if you’re new to publishing. I want you to come into this episode ready to orient yourself with where you are in your writing and ready to think critically about how you want to use an editor’s expertise. We can’t talk about publishing (and especially independent publishing) without talking about money, so let’s get started.

92: Why It Works (Or Not): Ordinary Time, Part 2

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 15:00:13 GMT

This episode is part of a series where I take already published memoir and break down what works and why (and what doesn’t work and why). I’ve found that when I’m teaching my Memoir Method concepts to my writers, they benefit from seeing how these principles play out in memoir that you can find at the bookstore. This month I’m looking at the memoir Ordinary Time by Annie B. Jones, and today is part 2.

91: Memoir in a Time of AI

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 15:00:21 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is intimidated by AI, especially as a creative writer. It can feel like ChatGPT is taking over everything, and the creative spaces are feeling the squeeze of technology. You wonder what AI actually means for creative spaces, for your writing, for your story. While I can’t cover every aspect of the AI conversation today, I do want to start a dialogue about how to navigate rapidly advancing technology with your own creative life. Let’s get into it.

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 15:00:10 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is ready to take a serious look at their work. Part of becoming a published author is the ability to get honest and serious about your own writing and drafts. Memoir can make this especially difficult, but I’m here to show you how and when to go into editing your own work. I know it’s intimidating, and it’s also a skill that you can learn!

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 15:00:33 GMT

This episode is for the writer who wants to make sure that the reader will be on her side and know what she’s thinking and what she’s experiencing. Writing yourself as a character can be tricky, because you can assume the reader either needs explanations that are actually too much information or that the reader can read your mind. Today we’re going to learn how to see yourself as a character and how to know when to trust your reader and when they need a little hand holding. Let’s get started.

86: Finding Your Ardent Fans

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 15:00:18 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is afraid that no one will buy their book. You want people to read, buy, and share your book, but you don’t actually believe that it will happen. Breaking into the publishing world feels so out of reach that you’re paralyzed with the prospect of building an author platform and that fear that no one will buy your book is loud. I’m here in this episode to disrupt that internal narrative you have playing right now, because the truth is that you have readers waiting for you. You just have to start the conversation already!

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 15:00:15 GMT

This episode is for the writer who still calls themselves aspiring. I'm going to get a little salty in this episode because the truth is that that single word is cannibalizing your author career.

82: Break the Rewrite Loop and Manifest Your Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 15:00:35 GMT

This episode is for the writer who can’t even imagine what publication will look like for them. You are so stuck in the weeds of writing and editing that even thinking about what happens after you finish your draft overwhelms you. I want this episode to be a gentle invitation for you to rethink how you feel about the publication process. Perhaps it’s not the work of writing and publishing that is overwhelming but the way you think about it. Let’s have this conversation, and see what comes up.

81: Your Publishing Industry Crash Course

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 15:00:00 GMT

This episode is for the writer who wants to better understand the publishing industry.

Pop culture has sold us a very shiny, very curated picture of the publishing industry—New York skyscrapers, champagne book launches, and the lucky author who got picked from the slush pile. But here’s the truth: publishing is an industry, and when you understand it for what it really is, you get to take back control over your own career as a memoir author. Today, I want to give you a crash course in how the publishing industry has evolved—and what that means for authors right now. The more informed you are as an author, the more power you have over your career, and my intention for this episode is for you to see that you actually do have all the control over your trajectory and career as a memoir author. Let’s get started.

80: 4 Things I Had Wrong about Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 15:32:41 GMT

This episode is for the writer who has had to refine what they think memoir is. We’ve been sold a specific concept of memoir through publishing, and you’ve likely gone into the process with certain beliefs and ideas about the genre and the writing process. And then, to no one’s surprise, the experience of writing is so much different from what you had thought it would be. In today’s episode I’m going into four things that I had wrong about memoir and how reframing my beliefs about writing and the genre transformed both how I write and how I edit. Let’s go.

79: Why You Don't Have to Be Skeptical about Self-Publishing

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 15:32:35 GMT

This episode is for the writer who thinks (or used to think) that self-publishing is, for whatever reason, less than traditional publishing. When you think of self-published books you think of Comic Sans, cheesy covers, and awkward marketing. You’ve been taught to consider self-published as lower quality, that traditional publishing equates to “good writing.” In this episode I want to debunk the skepticism around self-publishing and invite you into a new way of seeing your memoir within the publishing landscape.

You know how things are supposed to go when it comes to traditional publishing, and you believe that traditional publishing is the only legitimate way to get your work out there.

71: What I Unlearned about Memoir Publishing

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 23 May 2025 11:21:12 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is ready to reimagine memoir. There's a lot about the publishing industry, about memoir, about storytelling, about creative nonfiction that doesn't necessarily serve us. And there are a lot of rules that we feel are a part of the publishing industry, and you're not wrong. And so this episode is for the writer who is ready to challenge those rules, who's ready to challenge how the industry works, who is ready to play the game of publishing instead of having the game play you. Let's get into it.

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 09:31:38 GMT

This is an episode for the writer who thinks they just need more time to figure out their book. I get it, you’re a perfectionist. You’re waiting for everything to be just right. Just one more beta reader, one more editing pass, one more read-through—and wait! You can change that and rework that and move those scenes around. Your writing time is beginning to feel more like a groundhogs day (and when you’re honest with yourself, you’re kind of sick of it). What you need isn’t more time, it’s more clarity.

56: Why Not Everything in Your Memoir Actually Matters

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:37:16 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is operating under the misconception that every single detail and story has to be included in her manuscript for her memoir to be true. This is a common misunderstanding about memoir, and the truth of this is that if you can create an editorial strategy or filter for your manuscript, it will be clear which stories belong in your memoir and which ones don’t. I’ll explain more in the episode. Let’s get into it!

55: Why Readers Don't Want to Read Your Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 10:01:19 GMT

This episode is for the writer who has received some lackluster feedback. Maybe she’s already invested in an editor, but they didn’t tell her how to fix any of the manuscript’s problems. This episode is all about the importance of developing an author’s perspective and how that will translate into the work you do in revisions. Let’s get into it.

So, after I recorded this episode I actually changed the title to our next mini masterclass! Memoir vs. Autobiography is now Thinking Like an Author: The Mindset Shift to Unlock Your Memoir. It's this mentality that is really what I want to get into with you (and this includes differentiating between memoir and autobiography!).

Enroll in Thinking Like an Author for just $37.

(Or enroll in all four mini masterclasses here.)

Thinking Like a Writer will be held live on Thursday, January 30, at 1:00 p.m. PST. If you can't attend live, no worries! The replay will be uploaded later that day. If you're watching this after January 30, 2024, that same link will give you instant access!

54: The Real Reason Your Memoir Manuscript Is Overwhelming

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 11:55:53 GMT

This episode is for the writer who is over-editing and over-writing (you know who you are!). You look at the same paragraphs over and over and think if you just tweak it a little more you’ll find the sweet spot. But what ends up happening is that you actually just spend your time in the same passages not making any real progress at all. This episode is for you.

53: What You Don't Know About Memoir (That You Might Not Know You Don't Know!)

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 10:37:54 GMT

This episode is for the writer who has too much story. She’s starting the year with a burst of energy and motivation, but when she sits down to open her draft she freezes. She can’t find the focus of her story, and that feeling of being lost is quickly crowding out any motivation she had at the beginning of the month. This episode is for you. Let’s get started.

Charlotte Wilson — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 10:07:19 GMT

There are many ways to experience an editor, and today I’m talking about mine.

42: How to Know If You're a Good Writer

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 08:19:20 GMT

This is for the writer who believes that memoir writing is hard. She feels overwhelmed, and that weight has started to take the joy out of writing. She’s not sure if she’s any good, which makes it hard to have fun when she does show up. This writer wants to love writing and love what she writes. Today I’m going to dive into what “good writing” really is and highlight elements of good writing that I look for in the manuscripts I read. Let’s get into it.

40: The Truth Behind Writer's Block

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 08:12:03 GMT

This episode is for the writer who feels lost. She wants to be a writer, but doesn’t feel like one. In fact, feeling like a writer feels wildly far away. Last week, in episode 39, we talked about what I call inspiration paralysis: a more surface-level block having to do more with writing processes, rhythms, and discipline. But writer’s block is a completely different beast; writer’s block touches how you see yourself and your writing and affects the root of how you show up to your writing. It’s time to talk about it. Let’s go.

I mention the memoirist Jenny Lawson (she's equal parts dark and funny).

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 10:10:14 GMT

What’s fun about my Memoir Method is that it can be applied to literally any memoir. In today’s episode @ginnyreadsandwrites and I take Dancing at the Pity Party through the Memoir Method, naming the focus, the audience, and the core message.

These conversations are always a delight, and the different insights that we each have into the book prove just how versatile and personal memoir is.

20: Writing Memoir with Main Character Energy

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 09:19:00 GMT

Let's talk Main Character Energy. This is a term prevalent in twenty-first century vernacular, but what does it actually mean and what does it have to do with the writing life? In today's episode I break down what Main Character Energy actually is and exactly how this applies to memoir writing. I come ready with examples and ways that you can apply this concept into your own writing right now.

Sign up for my FREE masterclass/workshop combo, IDENTITY, to understand these concepts even deeper and with even more application: https://bookish-edits.thrivecart.com/identity/ Your writing and who you are as a writer won't be the same (in all the best ways)✨

18: It's Time to Write My Memoir

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 10:44:39 GMT

At the end of 2023 I had the wild idea that this year is the year I write my first memoir. While I’ve been working with memoir writers for years now and write my own essays, I hadn’t had the right spark to write my own actual memoir—and this idea is nothing I expected. In today’s episode I’m inviting you into my head as I grapple with the validity of this idea, starting from square one, and how to craft a plan moving forward. As this writing project unfolds over the next twelve months, I want to bring you into the process, so let’s get started.

Let me know what outlets you'd prefer for updates on my own memoir writing process: https://forms.gle/jLoQtTcfVHhWXHKU8

Head to https://bookish-edits.thrivecart.com/identity to register for my free workshop Identity: Reset and Realign Your Writing Life. This is happening live on Friday, January 19, at 9:30 a.m. PST, and the replay will be available for anyone who can't attend live. Identity is going to fundamentally shift how you engage with your writing life in all the best ways, and I can't wait for you to join me!

15: Your Writing Life vs. Your Regular Life

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 11:23:42 GMT

Today we dismantle the idea that there's only one "right" way to write, because the truth is that your writing life is inextricably connected to your regular life. What that means for you is that 1) you don't have to stress when living your life takes prominence over writing about it and 2) everything you live in your life you can start to see as a writer. Don't forget about the Bookish Edits shop where you can explore the Bookish Edits digital library and buy discounted enrollment vouchers for my live programs and classes in 2024.

14: Boundaries and Singularity in Memoir (From the Ashes final thoughts)

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 08:48:28 GMT

In this episode with Ginny Walters we talk through our final thoughts on From the Ashes by Jesse Thistle. We are so glad that we read this together and each came away from this memoir with profound takeaways. If you want to find her on the internet you can head to her Instagram @ginnyreadsandwrites and also check out her Substack (linked here). Be on the lookout later this week for a bonus episode recapping the Lost Audio, where I take From the Ashes through the Memoir Method framework.

13: Vignettes and the Velvet Hammer, a From the Ashes deep dive

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 11:07:15 GMT

In today's episode I have Ginny Walters back with me to deep dive From the Ashes further. We examine how Jesse Thistle uses vignettes to manage the reading experience and guide the reader through what is a very difficult narrative. Writing through vignettes does not come naturally to me as a writer, and so I loved examining this device with Ginny.

12: A Writing Pep Talk

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 10:13:05 GMT

I'm sharing a short pep talk that I initially wrote for a live group I ran last November (the precursor to the Memoir Method Live actually!) and is now a part of my mini audio course, A Story Worth Writing. We all need a little pep talk sometimes, and I hope this is one you can continue to come back to.

A Story Worth Writing is one of the three digital products included in my new bundle, the Memoir Writer's Toolkit. The Memoir Writer's Toolkit harnesses education, empowerment, and hands-on application to give memoir writers the mental boost they need whenever they need it. For Black Friday 2023, the Toolkit is on sale for just $49 with the code BFTOOLKIT: Buy the Toolkit here.

What the Toolkit includes: the Memoir 101 masterclass, A Story Worth Writing audio course, and a brand-new ebook, The Key to Memoir.

If the Toolkit isn't a good fit for you right now, or if you aren't sure whether it is, head to BookishEdits.com/free to download my free mini ebook, Should You Write a Memoir? This will give you a good idea of how I approach memoir and whether the Toolkit will be a helpful resource for you.

10: Should You Write a Memoir?

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 09:28:02 GMT

This week I take you behind the scenes of my first encounters with writers, what I've been calling a "writing strategy call" (but after prepping this episode think I need to rename a "story validation call"). Every writer comes to me with some version of the same questions, and every time I use this framework to empower them to see their story and capabilities differently, giving them more knowledge in how (and if) to move forward.

09: NaNoWriMo for Memoir Writers

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 09:15:02 GMT

National Novel Writing Month presents a creative and energetic container for fiction writers, and I want to extend that experience to memoir and creative nonfiction writers. In today's episode I quickly run through some of the pillars of NaNoWriMo and then get to tell you about how my newest program, the Speedway, can extend that NaNoWriMo experience into memoir writing. I treat you to a couple of minutes of our very first daily training to give you an idea of what you have waiting for you inside the Speedway.

Enrollment for the Speedway closes *tonight,* October 31, and I don't want you to miss it. If you're listening to this episode after enrollment has closed, you can head to BookishEdits.com/speedway-waitlist to hop on the waitlist and be the first to know when doors open for another round.

08: Writing and the Compound Effect

Charlotte Wilson — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 10:00:00 GMT

Writing is just like any other endeavor: the more you do it, the better you become. You don’t need to invest eight hours every day to write a memoir. Rather, you can trust that taking small, daily action will yield transformative results.

Join the Speedway, kicking off first thing on November 1.
