Episode Notes

Three voices converge to shape your true-life story:
Practice, Platform, Persona.

Amy talks about how she works this process, with examples from her telling of German Awakening: Tales from an American Life... and from the talk itself. Originally prepared as a talk for Author's Studio at Edina Art Center, Amy recorded this podcast episode due to a Minnesota Winter delay. Why this location matters? Although not mentioned in the book, the city of Edina had a huge impact on Amy's life, and it was speaking to her. (Twin Cities Folks, mark your calendar. New, original talk TBD scheduled for September 14, 10-11 am.)
