About this Talk
In this engaging 30-minute session, Memoir Coach and Developmental Editor Christine Wolf sits down with Sloan Fiffer for a candid conversation about the doubts, fears, and obstacles that keep so many aspiring memoirists from starting—or finishing—their stories.
Drawing on years of experience guiding first-time writers, Christine will unpack the most common questions she hears: Am I writing for myself or the public? What qualifies me to tell my story? Where do I start and end? How do I make readers care if I don’t have a big following?
Together, Christine and Sloan will explore how to navigate imposter syndrome, stay accountable, and find supportive communities and resources. They’ll also touch on the “rules” of writing about others, plus what to do once a manuscript is complete.
Whether you’re just beginning to imagine your book or deep in the writing process, this session offers practical insights and encouragement to help you finally claim your voice on the page.
