The Difference Between a Memoir and a Memoir Manifesto



Jessica is back with Season 2 of the In Her Words Podcast! She kicks off Episode 1 with tales from her summer travels. More importantly, she dives into the difference between a Memoir and a Memoir Manifesto—the type of books published by Soul Speak Press for women ready to tell their stories.


A Memoir Manifesto is one part memoir, one part message, and one part manifesto. It is your legacy work that clearly explains what you have learned from your experiences, combined with an inspiring and empowering call to action that outlines your ideas and views about those lessons. Together, we will co-create your book to fully express the essence of who you have been, what you have been through, and who you have become.


This podcast is hosted by Jessica Buchanan, a NYT Bestselling author, speaker, survivor and founder of Soul Speak Press. Soul Speak Press is a boutique non-traditional publishing company focused on publishing stories from women who have been through something, now they know something, and can teach us something.
