Thank you once again Rosy for a considered post. As someone who is an unpublished memoirist I am proud that I have completed my book and I can put my hand on my heart and say everything I have written is true. Although memory and perceptions can vary. I have had people check what I say and corrected errors in memories from childhood. What Sally Walker has done is shaken the trust between writer and reader. If only she had been open about certain aspects.

I am going to start a substack for unpublished memoirists, as an area for support for each other.

You must keep going you are a brilliant writer, unfortunately publishing is a ruthless world. 😘😘

I remember when everyone on Medium was seemingly falling over backwards to praise them and their book. Obviously there was stuff that had to be cut from the final draft...
