There's more to writing a memoir than just writing your life story.
A memoir isn't one long diary entry. Rather, it's a well-crafted story about a crucial, often exceptionally difficult, time in someone's life.
Writing & Selling Your Memoir
talks readers through the process of telling their most personal stories in a compelling, relatable, and readable manner. Unlike other books dedicated to the art and craft of writing memoir, it teaches readers how to approach the genre with love, respect, and know-how without sentimentalizing it.
Drawing on her experience working with New York Times best-selling memoirists, literary agent
Paula Balzer
carefully explores the genre and provides readers with step-by-step instruction on how to:
• Identify strong opening and closing points
• Find and develop a strong central hook that readers can relate to
• Structure a memoir to maximize readability
• Use dialogue and pacing to enhance intimacy
• Approach honesty and truthfulness
• Build a successful author platform around their memoir
• Get an agent's attention
• Get published
Full of tips, techniques, detailed exercises, and examples from best-selling memoirs as well as sidebars from well-known memoir authors,
teaches you how to approach an often tricky genre and tell your story without sentimentalizing it.
