The Courage to Go Deeper: Unraveling Trauma in Memoir Writing

Welcome into Flight School:

If you want to tell your truth, go the distance in your writing, and create work that is readable (and relatable) for years to come, this conversation is so worth your time.

Cevia Yellin is a former student who is also a professional editor. She has been editing Flight School since it launched and also now edits The Summer of ‘72.

Our conversation is about Chapter 26, and specifically how she nudged me to go deeper in a scene and my reaction to that suggestion. I share this conversation in order to inspire you on your journey.

Your Turn:

What is the most difficult aspect of your own memoir and how are you “going the distance? Please post your answer in the comments.

Thanks for being with me,
