87: How to Write Yourself as a Character
This episode is for the writer who wants to make sure that the reader will be on her side and know what she’s thinking and what she’s experiencing. Writing yourself as a character can be tricky, because you can assume the reader either needs explanations that are actually too much information or that the reader can read your mind. Today we’re going to learn how to see yourself as a character and how to know when to trust your reader and when they need a little hand holding.

86: Finding Your Ardent Fans
This episode is for the writer who is afraid that no one will buy their book. You want people to read, buy, and share your book, but you don’t actually believe that it will happen. Breaking into the publishing world feels so out of reach that you’re paralyzed with the prospect of building an author platform and that fear that no one will buy your book is loud. I’m here in this episode to disrupt that internal narrative you have playing right now, because the truth is that you have readers waiting for you. You just have to start the conversation already!

85: Why It Works (or Not): Sociopath, Part 2
This episode is part of a series where I take already published memoir and break down what works and why (and what doesn’t work and why). I’ve found that when I’m teaching my Memoir Method concepts to my writers, they benefit from seeing how these principles play out in memoir that you can find at the bookstore. This month I’m looking at the memoir Sociopath by Patric Gagne. You can find part 1 of this month’s breakdown back in episode 83.Sociopath by Patric Gagne.Enroll in The Memoir Method today, (Phase 1 is available instant access!).You can find me on Instagram @charlottejanewrites, Facebook, and YouTube.Join my email list to stay up to date on the podcast and everything else going on in Charlotte Writes.

84: Jumping from Aspiring Writer to Published Author
This episode is for the writer who still calls themselves aspiring. I'm going to get a little salty in this episode because the truth is that that single word is cannibalizing your author career. Spoiler alert, if you think about yourself as an aspiring writer, it will take you a hell of a lot longer to publish your book than you want.
