Writing about a loved one: Telling someone else's story in your memoir

📚 An interview with Colin MacArthur author of French Toast. Colin talks about writing his memoir as a vessel to tell his partner's story.

😸Colin's Tips
1. Until you write it down, no one can edit it or give you any feedback. If English or writing is a struggle, write it down like you talk. Then get it to a superb editor.
2. Look into the history of your editor to see what else they have edited. Also ask other authors for their suggestions.
3. Look for your local writers' or authors' association. Join and get support from them.

Write your story change a life: Interview with Essi Bagheri author of Shattered Soul

📚 An interview with Essi Bagheri author of Shattered Soul. Essi talks about how writing his memoir helped not only him heal, but how it has helped countless other people with their trauma.

✅Essi's Tips
1. Writing and rewriting your book can act as therapy
2. Have a vision and a goal and write a little bit each day. If you write a few paragraphs a day, you will write a book.
3. You don't have to write your book in chronological order. Write about what you remember best that day.
4. Reach out to media and give them a compelling story to share with their audiences
