Writing About Real People Without Losing Your Story

The ethics behind every powerful memoir

There’s a question that stops more memoirs than lack of time, talent, or discipline ever could: What happens to the people in my life if I tell the truth?

This is where writing stops being craft and becomes ethics. I created Before The Aftermath for anyone who’s ever felt the weight of that.

Inside the free recording, I walk you through:

• Ethical frameworks for writing about real people
• How to protect yourself and others
• What actually happens when a story enters the world
• And how to prepare for the ripple effects
