How To Write What You Don’t Know, explained by Allegra Huston

Allegra Huston, one of the great book editors and the author of the acclaimed memoir “Love Child” , conducts incisive and effective memoir writing workshops. Joan Juliet Buck interviews her for Joan of Art as she launches the online version of the Imaginative Storm writing program that she devised with James Navé. Allegra explains why the Imaginative Storm is based on the principle outlined in their book, “Write What You Don’t Know”, writing as a practice, and how the notion of ‘good writing’ kills the creative impetus .
