Today, we're joined once again by Ally Hensley, who you might remember from episode 3 of season 2. When we last spoke, Ally was just finishing writing her memoir about the rare condition, which transformed her sexual identity. Since then, she's signed a book agent in the UK (no small feat!). This episode is a must, if you dream of writing a book but you believe you have to be famous for people to care about your story (spoiler alert: you don't!)

In this episode, we talk about:
Dealing with rejection during the pitching process
Writing about a taboo topic – and getting the publishing world to buy in.
The pitfalls of writing about gender and sexuality
The mistake people make when writing memoirs, and how ot avoid it
Writing about traumatic experiences before you’ve even shared it with your friends or family.
The legal juggle of writing a memoir, and how to still share your truth whilst protecting yourself
A sneak behind the curtain of how I support my writers.
Why I say memoir writing can be like therapy therapy!

If you're ready to write that book, doors are now open for my course, The Book Writing Remedy or enquire about working with me 1:1. We can even ghost-write your memoir if you want us to transform your past into a book for you.
