My mom just died, and as I sat here trying to work while also trying to move her service and affairs forward, after this election and moving away from my mom just a month ago, it's been a lot. Thanks so much for your words today, they made a huge difference to me. Balm for my tender heart.
Memoir is my absolute favourite genre! I love a personal story that I can relate to and see myself in, but completely agree, we do not need to put ourselves in those boxes. And I love that story of how you found Picador.. Intuition is such a powerful guide.
Your book is fabulous, I shall be sharing it as a recommendation with all my folks. And thanks for the shout out to my newsletter here 😊 (from another woman over 50 without kids)
I love memoirs the most as well! Can you share me the link to the post on memoirs are dead ? I heard this a lot this week on podcasts too and I can't seem to find the source of where it's coming from.
Absolutely loved reading this, now off to look for Help Me! And, while publishers might think ‘memoir is over’ I say pfft to that - how do we learn if not through the lives of others?
Loving the writing today! Loved the Help Me ! Book bur didn’t know the hard work to get it published . Nice to learn more . Really interesting about getting feedback as you go like your friend . Want to meet Nelly! X
I love your writing. This is just what I needed to read today. And you've reminded me to go and buy your new book! Tomorrow I'm heading into town and will stop at my fave indie bookshop to order it. 💛

Love and relate to this so much! New mantra: THERE IS ROOM FOR ALL OF US. xx
