E69 Changing Names, Hiring Publicist & Uncoding a Memoir to empower survivors with Brandi Dredge
Can you change names in a memoir? Why would you do that? Author Brandi Dredge shares the answer is yes and she shares just why she did it in her memoir GIRL, UNCODED, a memoir of Passion, Betrayal, and Eventual Blessings.
Brandi shares the process of writing her memoir from choosing the snapshots of her life and recreating dialogue, locations, and chronologically detailing a portrait of a complicated story.
Learn why hiring a publicist, copyeditor, and having a team to support your writing and book release can help you market your book.
This episode will motivate you to tell your story safely and nudge to buy hers story.
GIRL, UNCODED is a well written first book by Author Brandi Dredge because of the team she had to guide her. Writing memoir often happens in the past tense, however with the help of an editor, the rewrites bring the reader into the actual scene in the moment.
Support groups like the National Association of Memoir Writers and local community writing groups are one way to grow as a writer. Brandi Dredge shares how finding her voice to courageously write her memoir has now evolved to being an important voice in the National Coalition to End Child Marriages.
Writing brings healing to the writer, a reader, and most importantly brings help to those needing support on topics like this.

Her book can be found on her website and on Amazon.

    I wrote a novel that is a sweeping epic and full of romance, action, and great detail and dialogue. It follows all the rules of what makes a good fiction book. There are a sea of self publishing companies. You pay to print your book, and it is now in a sea of other books. Many of them are just not well written. People don't seem to have any ability to objectively analyze whether their book is good or not. But a good story, well crafted, may not be marketable! That's hard to swallow. I'm searching for a traditional publisher, querying to literary agents. This is now a female dominated industry. One of the photos of a publishing company is of no less than fifty women and not a single male face in the photo! Not really inclusive anymore. I simply don't want to have a book that is an "also printed" stack of pages. Publishing and sales is harder than writing. Much, much harder.
