Description
by Anna Meryt (Author)
Have you got a story you're burning to tell - a true story from your life (not your WHOLE life story - memoir is a part of your life). The events you want to write about, did they last weeks, months, or years? You decide.-Do you think it's a cracking good story?-Read this book to find out how to turn YOUR STORY into a memoir. -Chapters include planning, story-telling, place and time, character, description, voice, publishing and marketing. This book explains how you can develop your writing skills and avoid some of the pitfalls. Not a quick fix book - it's for those who have a serious desire to write and publish a book. First, learn your craft. Then practice and get feedback. I did for ten years. Then look at your publishing options. Good Luck. Stay Focused. You CAN do it.
Here's a quote from an independent revieviewer:
This is an awesome book and a must read for anyone who dreams of writing a memoir. I have been writing nonfiction since the early 80s but had no clue as to how to write a memoir until I read this book. People have been telling me for years that I should write about my life, now I know how to go about writing my first memoir. Thank You!
