Handling the Truth: On the Writing of Memoir arrives
Friday, July 5, 2013
Am I afraid to open it? Yes. (I feel this way about every book.)
Will I open it someday? Perhaps. (I think that is required, and probably sooner or later, as I have two book interviews scheduled for next week. I need to know myself, to the degree that is still possible. To the degree that I can bear myself.)
Do I love the cover? Absolutely. (It's a dream cover, and you can't lose it at night.)
Many thanks to the Gotham team for making Handling the Truth: On the Writing of Memoir the reality it has become. I very much wanted this to be a paperback book, so that it would not represent a burden on writers' and students' budgets. Gotham saw this—and many other things—in precisely the same way, and for that I'm ever grateful.

You can't lose it at night -- ha! Congratulations, Beth! I'm looking forward to reading it!
I can't wait until mine arrives.
Hooray. Open it! Trust me, you'll be glad you did. It is such a wonderful book, Beth, and I can't wait to share it -- with friends, fellow writers, and readers. And I'll be so glad to replace my battered galley with a pristine finished book! Congratulations my friend!
It is wonderful...a slow, delicious, 'journal along with it' read. I am learning. Thank you.
Oh, Adrienne. Thank you.
And Libby, Becca, Katrina—thank you, each of you, for the very special and particular things you have done for me throughout my career.
