Write the Damn Book Already with Elizabeth Lyons - Ep 157: The Challenge of Anonymity in Memoir...

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions! (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) Can you write a memoir without putting your name on it? In this episode, I tackle two of the most common questions I hear from aspiring memoirists: Can I stay anonymous? and What makes a book successful? I break down why selling a memoir without a personal identity attached is tough. Readers connect to people, not just stories. And when the story is personal, anonymity adds a level of friction you can’t ignore. I also share why the best memoirs often read like fiction. Strong scenes. Real tension. Clean narrative arc. Which is why, if anonymity feels non-negotiable, writing the story as fiction might actually be the smarter move. Then there’s the success question. Is it bestseller lists? Revenue? Or simply finishing a draft you once thought you couldn’t write? If you’ve been circling your story but stuck on fear, privacy, or what “counts” as success, this conversation will help you ground your next step.
