Now is the right time to write the memoir you always promised yourself, but maybe you are asking:
“How should I start? Should I begin with my birth?
And how much should I write about my parents and other family members?
And what should I write about my work? Include memories of my travels?
And what should I reveal about those difficult times in my life?
And should I use real names?
AND…”Can I really write my memoir in just a few days?”
The answer to this last question is “YES.” This helpful guide gives you the simple, easy way to write an unforgettable short memoir, even if you have never written anything longer than a grocery list in your life.
Using step-by-step techniques proven in a college classroom this concise guide gives clear directions about how to start your memoir, which parts of your life to include (and which to omit), how to avoid a boring memoir, how to write about family members–even the difficult ones.
PLUS you will learn how long or short a memoir should be, which details are most important, as well as how to bring focus to a travel or adventure memoir. Many examples and prompts are included to help you write your personal history and even expand your brief memoir to a longer version, if you wish. Generations to come will remember you as you really are.
You will also learn easy and economical ways to self-publish and copyright your work as well as the risks of publishing your memoir online. (And what to watch out for if a so-called “publisher” promises to help you publish your memoir.)
