About Glory's list

"I always listen to essay collections and memoirs through audiobooks—it’s like eavesdropping on someone’s personal diary, but with permission. I love the rhythm of someone narrating their own life story—like we’re having a one-on-one conversation. It’s immersive, intimate, and let's be honest, who wouldn’t want Michelle Obama or Trevor Noah keeping them company during a long commute? Audiobooks deeply influenced my writing practice as I completed my memoir, Gather Me. Hearing the cadence of dialogue shaped how I crafted conversations or built tension in my own work. I took cues from my favorite writers and did my best to be completely vulnerable on the page. There’s nothing quite like listening to an author read their work—it will completely transform the way you experience your favorite storyteller!" —Glory Edim
