Inspired Writer Collective Podcast
Welcome to The Inspired Writer Collective, your memoir-focused writing podcast. If you've ever felt the pull to write your truth, to shape the chaos of real life into something meaningful, and to share your journey with the world, you're in the right place. We’re your hosts Elizabeth Wilson & Stephanie Oswald, Ph.D., writers, coaches & entrepreneurs who believe in you and know how important it is to find a writing community to guide you on your path to self-publishing.
We believe your voice holds power. Telling your story isn't just a personal act of healing or reflection, it's a gift to the world. Pulling the skeletons out of the closet is challenging - unless you’re writing a memoir. Then it’s called “chapter one”.
Each week, we explore the art, heart, and craft of connecting personal narrative to your writing, memoir or fiction. Whether you're drafting your first chapter, wrestling with the messy middle, or searching for the courage to hit “publish,” we are honored to be your companions on the journey.
The world needs your voice. Memoir is the art of pulling out old skeletons and realizing they were just unspoken chapters of your story.

BTS with an Indie Author - Part 4, One week til launch
Welcome to this special summer series where I invite guest hosts who were pivotal to the writing or publishing of my upcoming memoir to come on the podcast and interview me about the behind the scenes of an indie author leading up to my debut launch.
This week is hosted by Julie Sedler, a fellow memoirist who has been a guest on the podcast before as well as a speaker at our Memoir Summit back in March. I called on Julie, as a friend, several times during the writing process so she was the ideal guest host to discuss this phase of the process with.
At the release of this episode, it is LAUNCH day for Lonely Girl! You can now purchase both the ebook and paperback versions on Amazon. If you’d like an author signed copy, I still have some available through whisperedwisdompress.com, available for shipping in the US.
But we take a step back in this episode to discuss the final lead up to launch, the ARC reader recruitment and benefit, the impact of one on one connections to gain future readers, and dreams about who I hope my book will reach and what stages or room I’ll be invited into because of it.
And don't forget to tune in again next week for the final episode in this series where I’ll share details about how the launch day went as well as reflections on my first event, my local book launch party!
