Originally launched as Write-minded in 2018, this is a weekly writing podcast that focuses on memoir and personal writing, as well as industry trends and tips and resources for writers and authors.

Memoir Nation features a segment called Book Alley at the end of each episode to talk about recent memoirs that authors have sent Brooke and Grant, or memoirs they've discovered that are thought provoking or have sparked inspiration.

Mallary Tenore Tarpley on Writing Your Memoir When You’re Still Living the Story

Memoir Nation is celebrating imperfection, unresolved storylines, and the art of positive obsession this week with guest Mallary Tenore Tarpley, author of the new memoir, Slip. This week’s episode has so much good stuff for memoirists—including Mallary’s story of tenacity (she was rejected many many times on her first time out the gate with this book); her pivot to memoir-plus, and her insights on writing a memoir with an unusual structure. This is fuel any memoirist needs to stay the course and believe in the project you’re being called to write. Also, over at Memoir Nation, we’ve formally launched our community, and we hope you’ll come and check it out under the “Community” menu tab at MemoirNation.com. Mallary Tenore Tarpley is a journalism and writing professor at the University of Texas at Austin’s Moody College of Communication and McCombs School of Business. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Dallas Morning News, and The Tampa Bay Times, among other publications. She is the recipient of a prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant, which has helped support her research and writing. Mallary holds bachelor’s degrees from Providence College, as well as a master’s of fine arts in nonfiction writing from Goucher College. She lives outside of Austin, Texas, with her husband and two children. Slip is her first book. Learn more about your ad choices.
