"The Magic of Memoir"

Did you miss the webinar? No problem!

Last night we kicked off the Good Eye, Bad Eye multimedia package with our first webinar—an hourlong conversation between me and Janisse Ray, author of the bestselling Ecology of a Cracker Childhood. It was so much fun!

We talked about writing, the genre of memoir, family secrets, trauma, disability, and Janisse’s stellar new book on writing, Craft & Current: A Manual for Magical Writing.

Big thanks to those of you who joined us. There were some great comments and questions—so many, in fact, it was hard to end the session in 60 minutes.

If you want to see it again, or if you couldn’t join us last night, you can watch the recording right here:

Coming up next: Don’t forget to mark your calendar for Tuesday, July 9 at 7 pm EDT. That will be an open Q&A session with me. The floor is open for whatever’s on your mind:

• writing

• publishing

• Substacking

• living

• breathing

• my recipe for a savory summer pasta salad
