Memoir is one of the most popular genres, for both readers and writers. For authors, memoir offers the chance to tell your story, to process the hard things you’ve been through, to share a message of hope and transformation with the world. But memoirs are notoriously tricky to write! In today’s episode, we chatted with Alee Anderson, who specializes in writing trauma-based memoirs, to get her take on the craft (and the business) of writing memoir. Alee thinks of memoirs like a puzzle, and we loved hearing her practical approach to putting them together!

Alee Anderson is a six-figure-earning ghostwriter and editor who has worked in-house at one of the top 5 publishing houses in the world. She works exclusively with trauma survivors to turn their pain into best-selling books. Alee is also the founder of Hey! Young Writer, a mentorship platform where she and her team inspire youth to pursue their passion for writing.
