Using a Unique Structure for you Memoir

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

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know we’re unapologetic structure queens—because a strong narrative spine is one of the most essential elements of a successful memoir. But structure doesn’t mean sameness. In this episode, we dig into how memoirists can honor the craft of clear, intentional structure while still bending expectations, experimenting with form, and weaving in creative twists that make a book unforgettable. Inside our Memoir Method program, we built flexibility right into the process, and today we’re showing you how to do the same in your own work. 🔗 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. The memoir method checklist is going to take you through every single step you need from idea to published marketable book.
