In 2016, Dorit published the award-winning memoir, Accidental Soldier about her time in service with the Israeli Defense Forces.

Here, Dorit talks about how she balances doing something with clear commercial intent with doing something creative, like writing memoirs about her time in active service.

If you find time to do both every day, then you will advance your career, you’ll get paid, and you’ll also improve at your craft. Who doesn’t want those things?

I kicked off the interview by asking Dorit to describe how her time in active service informed her memoir, Accidental Soldier.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why Dorit had to do compulsory service in the  Israeli Defense Force
• How long it took her to write her book
• How to promote a memoir that’s so specific to personal experiences
• Establish who you are writing for
• What is SEO writing?
• Balancing creativity with SEO copywriting
• Writing for a consumer audience.
• How to balance working as a copywriter with writing a personal memoir
