Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

Memoir Land is Sari Botton's English-language publication about memoir and first-person writing. It combines reading selections, original essays and interviews about craft and publishing.

The author questionnaire is a useful entry for writers studying how another person's book developed. Readers can sample a first-person essay before using the broader curated reading material.

Choose Memoir Monday for a weekly selection of published personal essays, First Person Singular for original work, The Lit Lab for interviews and craft, or Goodbye to All That for New York stories. The About page says original-essay submissions are paused.
