Writing Your Memoir

  • St. Louis County Library - Grant's View Branch 9700 Musick Avenue St. Louis, MO, 63123 United States (map)

Many people start writing a memoir, only to get a few pages in before becoming overwhelmed by the process. Where do you start? What details should be included? Should you use people’s real names? Which main story should you choose to focus on, and what are the right themes and lessons for it?

Learn how to take these questions one at a time and build a moving memoir by outlining and curating your stories. Lay a solid foundation for structured storytelling, and you can write a book that you’ll be proud of and readers will love. Presented by Andrew Doty, founder of Editwright (www.editwright.com).
