A lovely reminder to examine, edit, and reexamine. Thank you! ❤️

Thanks Alison for your excellent video, it’s very inspirational.

Hi Alison, Your point in this video is confirming for me about a writing idea I have and I appreciate that you’ve so clearly expressed it to writers who are perhaps struggling as I am with a permission block of “Will anyone really care to read this?” I hadn’t exactly framed my idea as memoir writing, funnily enough ~ although it is. So, I have found you from a side door, so to speak, which is cool!

Alison's insights into the differences between autobiography and memoir are invaluable. Her emphasis on narrowing the story in order to make it focussed, and reveal its deeper meaning, have been a great help to me in my writing.

Thank you for showing me a deeper way of writing, rather than just stating facts and events. I liked your " Why what happened, matters?" What changed, evolved and /or gave meaning, opens the door to a deeper way of writing.

Hi Alison, I took one of your workshops a few years ago; it was inspiring. This video was a wonderful refresher.
