It’s The Creative Nonfiction Podcast, the show where I speak to the very best in the genre of telling true stories, how they got to where they are and the tools, tips, and tricks that make them so good at what they do. I’m your host Brendan O’Meara.
Today’s guest is none other than Allison K. Williams. She’s @GuerillaMemoir on Twitter and you can visit her website at idowords.com.
Allison is a performer, an editor, and a writer. She also hosts the Brevity Podcast, so I recommend subscribing to that wherever you get your podcasts.

We talked a little bit about Andre Dubus III and Jeff Geiger, both have been on the show.
Oh, and you gotta sign up for my monthly newsletter. I send out my monthly reading recommendations and some other tasty goodies straight to your inbox on the first of the month. Once a month. No spam. Can’t beat it?
