Guided 5 Minute Outline: A Memoir Situation

Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for a special guided 5 minute outline.Before we get into this week’s episode, I want you to understand that these outlines might take 5 minutes to map, but they represent a lifetime of your mastery.This is true more of memoir than any other nonfiction sub-genre.So when I say that we’re going to reverse-engineer Hannah Gadsby’s book Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation to create a 5 minute outline for your book, I’m not being cheeky.We’re not oversimplifying the work that Hannah did or presuming that this exercise is going to cut corners on the deep introspective work that memoir requires.We are going to get a better view of the bones of that work and give you a tangible place to start piecing your own together.- Context for the Book We’re Mirroring- Approaching Memoir without Overwhelm OR Oversimplification- A Guided 5 Minute Outline Mirroring Ten Steps to Nanette- What You Can Do NextGet free weekly book coaching right in your inbox by subscribing on Substack, or upgrade your coaching access to get direct support on your work in progress.
