If I had a dime for every hopeful memoirist who told me they were afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, I would have $3.30–at least!
“I want to write about my mother/child/boss/classmate but I don’t want to offend them” has to be a Top Ten remark heard at writers’ conferences and book events of all kinds. This tells me that writers want to hear from those who have navigated these waters and lived to tell the tale.
Which stories should be left out and which ones should be kept? How can I “blur” identities while still expressing the truth of what happened? This seminar, from a memoirist who wrote about her birth parents in “Anne of Green Gables, My Daughter, and Me,” will be your guide to sidestepping landmines while still writing truthfully.
