"Really interesting post Julija. Unfortunately the world of literature and publishing is no different to the unequal treatment of women when it comes to women's words or women's lives. While it has improved in great strides, we can still…"

"Thanks for your reply Kathryn. Yes, very true, people will always talk.I've been thinking a lot about what I would like my writing to do and also why I'm writing it. I've thought about making it into fiction but it doesn't sit…"
Kathryn C. Lang replied to the discussion 'Writing about the personal'
"People will always talk - that is the nature of things. You have to determine what you need to do in your life and then go from there. IF you are still worried, change the names and write it as fiction. :D"

Writing about the personal
At the moment I'm beginning to write about my experiences of having a partner incarcerated and all the issues that are faced when this occurs. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with such personal issues and decided to write about it despite what may be said if the book is published. How did you reconcile wanting to write about it and the stigma that you may possible encounter because of the topic you wrote about?See More

For those who may not know, Mel Tankard-Reist is an energetic and courageous (I say courageous given some of the responses she receives) campaigner for the rights of children in highlighting how…See More

Thesis to book.
Was wondering if there was anyone who has finished their thesis (PhD or Masters etc) and was thinking of turning it into book? What are some of things you have considered for why you have/haven't started the book? I'm currently doing more research which builds on my thesis but I'm looking to publish for a general audience and not for an academic audience. See More

If she already trusts you via letter writing then this is a really good thing and a huge step in the relationship of interviewer / interviewee especially given her circumstances of being incarcerated, and like you mentioned, of the trust…"
