Live and Write Her Journey

Fairy Tale Heroine

Memoir has the power to change not just a writer’s life, but the world we all share. Too often dismissed as self-indulgent or merely therapeutic, memoir is in fact one of the most radical literary forms of our time—an act of truth-telling that dismantles cultural myths and creates new ways of seeing. In Truth Be Told, acclaimed memoirist and psychologist Kerry Cohen, author of the beloved bestseller Loose Girl, shows readers how personal storytelling can subvert dominant narratives, generate empathy, and reveal the deeper truths that connect us all. Blending literary guidance with psychological insight, Cohen explores the art and intention behind today’s most powerful memoirs—those that move beyond confession to create meaning. With warmth, humor, and deep respect for the craft, she offers writers a clear methodology, illuminating examples, and structured exercises to help them find their story, shape it authentically, and write it in a way that truly matters. Whether you’re a first-time writer or a practiced storyteller, Truth Be Told will teach you not only how to write a memoir worth reading—but how to uncover the deeper truths of being hum

“Here is a writer with a rare gift for appreciation and for reminding us of all we have to celebrate in our fractured world.”&nbsp;—Pico Iyer, author of 
The Half Known Life Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism Foreword by Tim Cahill A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.
 
Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors.
 
His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.
 
Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. A Crooked Line highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them. Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.

The Perils and Rewards of a Life in Freelance Journalism

A Crooked Line

A hand moving thoughts across a surface is a uniquely human act, one that's both ordinary and profound. In this fascinating and wide-ranging exploration, professional calligrapher and teacher Molly Suber Thorpe reflects on the many roles of handwriting, from our signatures and our diaries to our grade-school cursive lessons. In tracing the history of penmanship rules and rituals, and cultural forces that shape our letters, she celebrates the quiet resistance of pen and paper in an increasingly digital world. Drawing from the surprising science of the mind-hand connection, she argues that writing by hand does more than convey meaning: It connects us to our "innerverse," a vast terrain of self-reflection and becoming. Illuminated by Suber Thorpe's gorgeous ink-blue drawings, Handwriting passionately invites us to embrace the beauty of this deliciously tactile and imperfect art in our own life. It is a book to treasure and share with a friend.
