“The best way to stay up to date on the best first person writing happening on the internet”
Lilly Dancyger, The Word Cave
“Memoir Land shares some of the best personal writing online. The original pieces and interviews are outstanding, always worth a second read or listen. This is the kind of first-person writing that makes you feel like you know the author in a profound way, through the sheer power of their words. The essay roundups always yield must-reads about a wide variety of topics, always probing and insightful.”

“Compelling, insightful, poignant — a journey into the heart of memoir.”
