Inside the Mind Behind Terms & Conditions: Amy Goldmacher Reveals the Untold Story of Her Memoir
Of course, there’s lots of stuff that didn’t make it into the book that I can revisit. There’s actually one thing from my childhood that I found recently that gives me new insights into my childhood and my father.

MF: You are an anthropologist as well as a writing coach. Can you discuss how your background influences your creative process?
AG: I’m starting to see the connection between being an anthropologist and being a writer and coach more now, especially when people who read the book or work with me reflect back to me that they see the influence of social science in my writing style and in my coaching style. It didn’t occur to me that my creative writing would be so heavily influenced by my background as an anthropologist, but it actually feels really good to think that those two disparate parts of my life aren’t disconnected from each other. That I am a whole person who integrates the good and valuable parts of my past into my present and future.
