Working with an Editor on your Memoir

Working with editors can be amazing to make your story so much stronger--it can also be scary, especially if the story is as personal to you as memoirs should be. Editors should be stepping into the life of your book as you're shifting from the raw creative process to thinking about the market and publishing steps you want to take. Getting feedback and bringing in other voices and opinions into that process can provoke some uncomfortable reactions, especially when you don't know what to expect. Preparing your mindset for the editorial process can ensure you get the most out of your editor and make the very best choices for your book

Do you have a plan for actually finishing your memoir? If not, we know you aren’t making the progress you hoped for. That’s why we developed The Memoir Method Checklist. This free guide (and video training!) will take you through every single step you need from idea to published marketable book. Grab it now at https://pageandpodium.com/checklist
