Tk With James Scott

The author of the gripping new true crime/memoir, THE FACT OF A BODY, Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich tells James that "the book teaches you how to write it." They talk about how those lessons evolved over a decade of work, as well as earning the story, engaging with darkness, measuring the emotional impact of working on a memoir versus finishing one, and geeking out over the work of Maggie Nelson. Plus Colin Dickerman, editor at Flatiron Books.   -  http://alexandria-marzano-lesnevich.com/ Alexandria and James discuss: Mike Scalise  The Muse and the Marketplace  Celeste Ng  Jung Yun  Emerson College  AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FACE by Lucy Grealy SHOT IN THE HEART by Mikal Gilmore  FULL BODY BURDEN: GROWING UP IN THE NUCLEAR SHADOW OF ROCKY FLATS by Kristen Iversen  NOW WRITE!
