Description
Elissa Altman's memoirs have been critically acclaimed, but it's her own story that she's most eager to tell. She's faced the same doubts and fears that many writers have: how to write about the things that matter most, despite the voices that tell us we shouldn't. In "Permission", Altman shares her own journey of self-discovery and creative liberation, and offers guidance to anyone who's struggling to find the courage to write their own story.
Altman's expertise as a teacher and memoir writer has helped countless students overcome their own fears and doubts, and now she's sharing her insights with a wider audience. This book is not just a guide to writing memoir, but a powerful exploration of the ethics of storytelling, and the importance of giving yourself permission to create.
For anyone who's ever felt the weight of shame or fear holding them back from telling their story, "Permission" offers a message of hope and transformation. It's a book that will appeal to readers and guide you towards a place of freedom and creative expression.
