In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and master class, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the questions which run through it.

How might we go about capturing on the page the relationships that have formed us? How do we write about our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean for an author's way of writing, or living, to be dismissed as "navel-gazing" - or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong?

Drawing on her own path from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor - via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia - Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower listeners and writers alike, offering ideas-and occasional notes of caution - to anyone who has ever hoped to see themselves in a story.

I saw this book in my local independent bookstore. While I like to support local merchants, I knew this was a book that was best experienced by listening. I’m so pleased the author read her work. Listening was a learning experience and a joy! Thank you.

Making Art from Experience

Melissa Febos’ Body Work is humble and honest as it is bold and transgressive. I am one of those writers who has always been drawn to writing personal narrative while also feeling tangled up in embarrassment about it. In this slim essay collection Melissa does more than mount an effective intellectual argument in favor of personal writing - she also restores its dignity and spiritual purpose. If you long to write your story but aren’t sure you have a right to do so, read this book.

Inspiring and instructive

A great book for any female-identifying writer, whether you are a major novelist or someone who write in a diary every night.

Thank you for writing this book!!! This is an excellent book and couldn’t recommend it more

Exactly what I needed

This is a niche book on the power of writing your personal story, mainly geared towards women. It is much more a book on writing than it is memoir. I have not read this author’s other works but I am curious now. There are a lot of beautiful and inspiring lines, so many that I am considering purchasing a hard copy so I can highlight and refer back to them. It’s a short listen, well-written, well-narrated. I would recommend it to any women who is writing or considering writing about their life!

Short, motivating book for memoirists

A brilliant examination of creative process and how to process our stories and transform these experiences into creative practice. Febos so vulnerably shares how she continues to dig deeper into her own writing and shares tips and advice for others to translate their life and traumas with words, paint or any medium. A must read for all, but especially for fellow creatives.

Brilliant
