Memoir Without Fear: Avoiding Trauma, Legal Issues and Your Mom’s Hurt Feelings

Additional Information

Or what if someone sues you? We all have a right to tell our own experience, but it’s hard to feel sure about our words when we’re wading through dark memories. Where does your book end, and will anyone really want to read it?

In this 75-minute live webinar taught by Allison K Williams, you’ll gain tools and skills for sharing your truth on the page without retraumatizing yourself as you write. You’ll learn key strategies for avoiding legal action and hurting feelings while writing truthful characters and scenes. And you’ll discover how to navigate real-life relationships with tact and confidence while feeling good about publishing your words.

This workshop will cover:

• SETTING your own boundaries for privacy and safety without compromising your creative flow.
• DETERMINING your strongest purpose for writing, and what “success” will look like to you.
• Actual LEGAL ISSUES to consider vs. amorphous fears of “being sued.”
• DEALING with social media trolls (and sure-fire scripts for deflecting real-life busybodies!)

There will be time for a Q & A at the end of the presentation.

This webinar is for:

• Writers who want to honor their family’s privacy and their personal boundaries while telling important truths
• Memoirists who want to finish their book, but are feeling blocked by fear or reluctance
• Writers unsure if a memoir is the best way to tell their story
• Writers approaching the submissions process and nervous about family reactions to their published work
• Book coaches and editors working with memoirists
