Q4 In the book, you speak about concerns that stop some from writing or publishing memoir:

I was intrigued by the subtitle, too: “The radical craft of memoir and its power to transform”. Having read your book, I see that transformative quality for both writers and readers. Could you speak about that? #AuthorInterview #booksky @lilydunn.bsky.social #IntoBeing @manchesterup.bsky.social

Q2 In #IntoBeing, you convey powerfully “the dance between writing and gaining in self-understanding in life, and how intimately connected they are”. Can you tell us more about this and your aims for the book?
