The Memoir Method Podcast

This episode is part two in a three-part series, the Self-Publishing Workshop. This is where I’m going to let you know that, even as the editor, there are some things I don’t know I don’t know. And in shepherding my client through the self-publication process this year, my eyes were opened to a whole new side of the creative process. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, go ahead and download episode 151 so that you’re up to speed on what we’re diving into this month. In this episode I’m sharing my experience as her editor and creative partner in this new capacity. Let’s go.

This episode is for the writer who is looking at their publishing options. In 2026, the publishing routes available to you are many, and I want you to have the tools you need to discern which one is the best fit for you. What I want to break down in this episode specifically is the reframe that self-publishing does not need to be your Plan B. My intention in these next 20 minutes or so is to both educate you on how publishing actually works and help you pay attention to the process of publishing more than the product, so you can make an informed and empowered decision as the author. Ready? Let’s dive in.

This episode is for the writer whose writing life feels hard. You know the feeling: you know you should be writing, but you don’t. Or you sit down to write but every word that comes out feels like garbage. Maybe you’ve spent so much time reading writing books, browsing Facebook writing groups, and enrolling in online courses that you’ve convinced yourself that those efforts are moving your memoir draft forward, yet the word count remains stalled. Today’s episode is going into how you might be making your writing life harder, and what you can shift today to make that creative flow easier to access. Let’s get into it.

This episode is for the writer who thinks that they have writer’s block. What else could it be? You’re not feeling inspired, and every time you sit down to draft, you stare at that blinking cursor until you pick up your phone and mindlessly scroll until only ten minutes are left in your writing window and you’ve barely written a paragraph. What I want to say to you today is that writer’s block isn’t your problem: your creative rhythm is. Let’s get started.

This episode is for the writer who is nervous to put themselves out there. I know that writing and sharing that writing are vulnerable moves to make, and I also know that putting yourself in the room is one of the most empowered moves you can make as a writer. This episode is going to give you five signs that you’re actually ready to put yourself in the room, whether that room is a writer’s group, a private container with an editor, or a guided cohort program. Let’s go!
