It’s a fascinating process, switching from daily journalism – where you
tell everything right up front as clearly as possible, and where you keep your feelings out of it – to fiction, where you have to dole information out in little pieces, like breadcrumbs to seduce the reader along, and then to memoir, where it’s mostly feelings, most of the time. Join us as Judy Foreman talks about the writing process from the perspective of a journalist and a memoirist.
Judy Foreman is a former Boston Globe health columnist and non-fiction author for Oxford University Press. She has also written a novel , “CRISPR’d” from Skyhorse Publishing and a memoir “Let the More Loving One be Me” from She Writes Press.
