NAMW Interview About “Newcomers”

Author Paula Wagner smiling in front of a wooden wall, wearing a teal scarf and matching jewelry.

I was honored to be interviewed on June 13, 2019, by Linda Joy Myers, founder of NAMW (National Association of Memoir Writers). It was a special pleasure because I had worked on this memoir in Linda’s Writing as Healing class over several years. With Linda Joy’s encouragement and support, I discovered an authentic voice and my writing evolved to include poetry as well prose.  In this interview, I share my struggles with the inner critic, and the importance of expressing my story with love. You can read more of this interview at the NAMW.org. You can also listen to the audio archive here.
