Learn How to Write About Your Life

Writing memoirs is tough business. It’s not just about cataloging everything that’s happened to you over the course of your life. It’s about stringing them together to make meaning for the reader, to draw parallels, to evoke catharsis, whatever. A new book aims to help writers create memories that better appeal to readers as stories…not just a collection of memories.
