This week on Author Up, we’re joined by Rachel Kramer Bussel, founder and editor-in-chief ofOpen Secrets Magazine , a publication devoted to the personal stories we’re often taught to keep tucked away.
Watch or listen to us discuss:
* the power of the personal essay
* how quiet truth can form windows of recognition
* how clutter holds memory and meaning
* how writing can help bring out our authenticity
We also dabble along the edges of what it’s like publishing & editing today. We chat about how she built Open Secrets Magazine, the fun & pressure of managing new challenges, and continuing to stay close to the heart of the work: championing good writing.
Rachel’s just launched a fantastic new podcast, Finders and Keepers, which explores the objects we collect, save, inherit, organize, and can’t quite throw away; from books and toys to memorabilia, miniatures, Lego sets, storage spaces, and the quiet emotional architecture of our stuff.
Thank you for reading / listening / watching!
Support Open Secrets, send in your writing, tell a friend, and until next week - Keep Curious !
