When it comes to memoir writing, Marion Roach Smith is a leader in the genre. She is a writer, coach and editor. Her most recent book is The Memoir Project: A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text on Writing & Life. When I was given an opportunity to make a guest appearance on her blog, QWERTY, I marked my calendar with gold stars.

As I knew she would be from her previous podcasts, she’s also a great conversationalist. Our thirty minutes together flew by; we could have gone on for hours. Her compliments were generous, and praise from her is high praise indeed. Here is a link to that most enjoyable interview:
How to Write a Family Memoir. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
