In Conversation With … Elisabeth Sharp McKetta, author

Living The Writing Life Podcast with Nancy Christie

Elisabeth Sharp McKetta is an award-winning author, teacher, and speaker who teaches writing for Harvard and Oxford.

She is the author of thirteen books, including the novels Ark and She Never Told Me About the Ocean, the memoir-in-essays Awake with Asashoryu, and the guidebook Edit Your Life—which was inspired by her 2019 TEDxBoise talk.

She co-edited the anthology What Doesn’t Kill Her: Women’s Stories of Resilience, which Gloria Steinem described as stories that “will help each of us to trust and tell our own.”

Elisabeth’s work with myth and memoir, the focus of her doctorate, has been spotlighted in Harvard Magazine.
