Welcome to The Art of Memoir! I’m KiKi Walter “The Memoir Queen.” (As appointed by my crack team of editors, well—and myself, at The Memoirist.)
About The Art of Memoir
When I first started this Substack, I intended The Art of Memoir to primarily provide writers interested in writing memoirs the tools and insight into the craft of the genre. This didn’t end up sticking.
The Art of Memoir is all about the art of me. I share essays, memoirs, and—yes—occasionally tools and insights into the craft of writing memoirs and personal essays.
If you like what you read and would like to help support a fellow writer, please consider a paid subscription! If not, no worries—most of my content is free!
About Me
I am the founder and publisher of several well-known publications on Medium, including The Memoirist, Age of Empathy, and Black Bear.
I live in Orange County, California with my daughter and two small needy dogs. I am influenced by David Sedaris, Dorothy Parker, and Tina Fey. My goal, if I can ever get my lazy ass to focus, is to finish writing my book of essays for publication. Wish me luck…I need it!
