Do you have enough to fill a book

from The Page & Podium Podcast with Dr. Amanda Nell Edgar · host Page & Podium Press

One nagging question aspiring writers have can often hold them back from starting--do I even have enough for a book? Is this idea big enough? Do I have enough stories to tell or points to make? It's not a completely unmoored question, as some ideas are better for short form models. A full-length book does need several major turning points, minor development, and nuanced ideas you can explore from different angles. But then again--so does life. Watch to see how you can work through some development steps to see if you have enough to fill a book. 🔗 You've got the story. You've got the idea. You just don't know the steps in the process. If this is what's holding your memoir back, I have got the solution for you.
