The Memoir Land Contributors on Time Magazine's List of Must-Read Books

With congratulations to Carvell Wallace, Emily Raboteau, Glynnis MacNicol, and Leslie Jamison.

Since 2010, in various publications, I’ve interviewed authors—mostly memoirists—about aspects of writing and publishing. Initially I did this for my own edification, as someone who was struggling to find the courage and support to write and publish my memoir. I’m still curious about other authors’ experiences, and I know many of you are, too. So, inspired by the popularity of The Oldster Magazine Questionnaire, I’ve launched The Memoir Land Author Questionnaire.

Here’s a little roundup of Memoir Land Questionnaires by four memoirists on Time Magazine’s List of The 100 Must-Read Books of 2024. -Sari Botton

Time Magazine has released its list of The 100 Must-Read Books of 2024, and I was so thrilled to spot on it four memoirists who have contributed to Memoir Land—three of whom took The Memoir Land Author Questionnaire, and one of whom contributed an essay.
