Unveiling Heartbreak and Healing: Brenda Miller Reveals the Secrets Behind Her Powerful New Memoir.
RP: How much more promotion is on the way?
BM: I just finished my Seattle launch. I did my local launch last weekend and interviewed Terry Tempest Williams in front of a crowd of 500 people. And then this weekend, I’m doing a yoga and poetry workshop at my yoga studio, which I’ve always wanted to do! Then trips to Nashville, Denver, a few places.
RP: That’s wonderful! So, let me pull it back a little and start from my first note. At this point, Tell It Slant is in its third edition, and it’s considered a really pivotal text for a lot of us in this genre. Still, to this day, it’s a text that when people are thinking, I want to write true stories, I want to learn more about creative nonfiction, they’re turning to this book actively. So I’m wondering, how does it feel to know that this thing you created is part of the beginning of so many people’s journeys? I mean, years ago when I thought, oh I have this diary full of thoughts, is this art? Someone said, it can be, and Brenda will tell you how.
