Let's Not Get Sued (for Writing a Memoir)
Manage episode 415720292 series 2996633
Writing (and publishing) a memoir can be nerve wracking. What if the people you’re writing about don’t like your portrayal of them? What if they hate it? What if they decide to sue?
In this episode we discuss the chapter (and appendix) that cover this memoirist’s fear in Judith Barrington’s book, Writing the Memoir — both from an emotional and legal perspective. We also talk about the importance of using place names in your memoir and practice the technique in our writing exercise.
And, check it out, we have a new intro (same music of course)!
Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
