This is what happens when you ask your son to take a photo of you and your daughter to remember a lovely dinner you’re having to celebrate him finishing his GCSEs…

For those of you who are writing memoir and want to a safe space to discuss technique and process, I will be running my Memoir WIP Surgery again on Monday, and we will be discussing the importance of the reflective voice. I do hope you can come along.

Below, you’ll find a bit more about the surgeries I’ve been running since November last year - and all you need to do is become a paid subscriber. Come and join this wonderful community of writers who write memoir over here on Substack. We’d love to have you! Link is at the end of this newsletter.

Watch out for my post tomorrow, which is an interview with writer and Guardian Country diarist, Nic Wilson about her debut memoir Land Beneath the Waves, which was published last week. It’s fascinating viewing for those of you interested in nature writing and writing through illness.

And if you love nature writing, you might also enjoy Memoir Club next Wednesday over at

London Lit Lab
where we will be discussing personal essay, ‘An Entrance to the Woods’, by Wendell Berry. You can join here.

If you write memoir or are interested in memoir, you get so much from a paid membership: live zoom workshops; craft essays, original interviews with published writers, a chance to see early proof copies of INTO BEING, a wonderful supportive community. Come and join my community of memoir lovers. I look forward to getting to know you.
