Post #44 – Women’s Memoirs, Author Conversations – Kendra Bonnett and Matilda Butler
Welcome to day three of our celebration with Linda Joy Myers, author of the newly released book, The Power of Memoir. All week on Women’s Memoirs, Linda Joy is answering your questions about memoir writing based on her experience crafting her own memoir and researching and writing her new book.
In our two previous audios, Linda Joy has talked about:
— writing the dark stories and
— writing our adult-shame stories.
Today, Linda Joy considers the question from Robin, a question that puts the spotlight on the issue of organizing the vignettes that compose a memoir.

Ever wondered about the differences between personal essay and memoir? Listen in on Friday when Linda Joy talks about these two story forms. What happened to Thursday? We have a special treat for you. Linda Joy Myers has given us a story, recipe, and photos for our KitchenScraps series of ScrapMoirs. Check back tomorrow when we publish it. A hint: Expect relatives, Iowa and lemon meringue pie. Then we’ll resume our question and answer audios on Friday and the interesting question from Tanya.
