This episode is for the writer who has been burned by editors before. You’ve invested time, money, and trust into an editor, and you feel if not betrayed, at least disillusioned. Your memoir isn’t any closer to being finished and now your document is marked up with comments and changes that you don’t know what to do with. Today I want to dive into why that is and how to re-empower yourself as the author seeking support.Link to schedule a free 30-minute call."3 Reasons You Haven't Finished Your Memoir" Video.

99: Breaking the Rewrite Cycle
This episode is for the writer who is embarrassed to tell me how many times you’ve rewritten your draft. You’re committed and resilient, but yet that’s not resulting in a manuscript that you’re proud of and want others to read. The big reframe we get to explore today is that rewriting is not the same as revising. This is a big one, so let’s get into it.Free video 3 Hidden Reasons You Haven’t Finished Your MemoirVisit my website Charlotte Writes: Where Every Story Matters You can find me on Instagram @charlottejanewrites, Substack, Facebook, and YouTube.Join my email list to stay up to date on the podcast and everything else going on in Charlotte Writes.
