Nancy MacMillan commented on Julie Luek's article [Making the Leap] Write Like An Archaeologist

February 2014

Julie, I was hooked by your title and wanted to read further. I'm smiling because I've been where you are now. It took me 16 years to write my memoir, but then again, there were no such mentors as SheWrites. I self-published in Dec 2013 and it's on...

September 2013

Sweet Becky, I love your new profile picture! The highlights do kick it up a notch. :) Been away a while. Great new adventures marketing my book and a month in Ohio. But when I could no longer post a blog (well over a month), I called the Geek...

Nancy MacMillan commented on Vicki Malits Addesso's article Guilt

April 2013

Morning, Vicki, It's nice to know there is someone who understands the "dilemma" of being a memoir writer because we are shaped by our past. Some of the hurt must be shared so our story makes sense. Thanks for your interest in my blog. It's been up...

Nancy MacMillan commented on Kendra Bonnett's article Writing Video #1: Practice Your Craft Like the Late, Great Ray Bradbury

June 2012

I read Ray Bradbury for decades but never studied his work, nor the work of others until I began writing my memoir. Now I devour great writers guidelines with passion because I've learned so much and it made my work better. My memoir, Diary of a...

Nancy MacMillan commented on Kate Clisby's article Attempt 1

May 2012

Hi Kate. A quick reply, or should I say, "my 2 cents", as I do work today . . . may I suggest you write the "most explosive" memories first to the best of your memory, then you can fill in what lead to it later on. This was the only way I could move...

Nancy MacMillan commented on Kate Clisby's article Attempt 1

May 2012

Hi Kate, I saw your plea and am responding. I haven't been by in a while because I'm in the process of self-publishing my first book, a memoir. It took 16 yrs to write, though I never planned to write a book. You have an interesting and emotional...

October 2011

Sarah - I finally found a few free minutes to get back on SheWrites and notice "this new addition." Very interesting! Being in the throngs of publishing my first book "the professional way," I enjoyed this piece. Having recently made the decision to...

Nancy MacMillan commented on Kamy Wicoff's article I'm Thinking of Self-Publishing. Whaddya Think? (And Help!)

June 2011

I'm fairly new to this site, but I'd like to share my thoughts. My manuscript is in the final edit with a free lance editor. I've been submitting queries to agents I've "researched" since Nov with no bites. They're picky and seem to want known...
