The Keys to Memoir Writing
Expert Advice on Memoirs from A to Z
No matter where you are in your memoir writing journey, whether just starting out, or finished with your third draft, or ready for publication and marketing, over the past few years, we’ve pulled together some of the best authorities on writing and publishing a memoir.
We believe that writing a memoir is an adventure, a challenge, and a journey that challenges writers to craft a story, capture memories, and become an editor, marketer, and even a publisher. By offering these telesummits as downloadable recordings, we hope to carry you through this process toward a richer experience as a memoir writer.
