We live in a society that is hungry for true stories of profound trauma and monumental recovery. But what if you’re a writer who doesn’t have an obvious rock-bottom-to-mountain-top story to share? Is there room for life stories that are quieter, tamer?
In this talk, writer/editor Kate Meadows will address
this question head-on and share her own experience of coming to terms with (and ultimately defining for herself) “the quiet memoir.” In the end, there is a market for “quieter” life stories. The key is to create resonating points with your reader.
