#76 Make Your Own Map with Wendy Atwell
from Write, Publish, and Shine
This is the continuation of our agency theme on the podcast...I interview another luminous Writerly Love community member, Wendy Atwell, who is earlier in the process than our previous member guest who secured agents, Lacey Yong and Jessica Waite.Wendy is writing and revising her memoir, and I think it’s the perfect time to check in with her because she has made some great choices for her work that took a lot of intention and self-trust, i.e. agency.She is also someone who takes in a lot of information about writing from great teachers and books and then—with lots of agency—discerns what will serve her story, including finding an unconventional structure for her work.You can find the show notes for this episode at rachelthompson.co/podcast/76 A quick note for any writer with a draft they keep returning to, or an idea they want to explore further.
