In this definitive guide on how to write a memoir, Carolyn V. Hamilton begins by explaining a concept every memoir writer must understand: The difference between memoir and autobiography.
The steps and tips and information she shares in this book are the same ones she has developed specifically for her memoir clients and students.
They include:
• Chapter 1 - The difference between memoir and autobiography
• Chapter 2 – The rules of “story-telling.”
• Chapter 3 - The STORY part of your memoir
• Chapter 4 - The DESCRIPTIONs in your memoir
• Chapter 5 - The DIALOGUE in your memoir
• Chapter 6 - The SCENES in your story
• Chapter 7 – The SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PART of your memoir
Real examples from published stories will help you understand the concepts presented. Included at the end is an additional BONUS: “3 Ways to Begin to Write Your Memoir.”
The 5 Important Parts of a Successful Memoir & Why You Need Them is a fast, to-the-point, no-nonsense book that will give you the confidence to begin writing with ease. Once you implement what you discover here, you will no longer worry about how to write effectively, and you will have a strong plan for how to structure your story.
"I was expecting a more textbook feel but was pleasantly surprised by how conversational it was! I especially enjoyed the seven-part story exercise. I learned that I do have a rudimentary structure that I can develop easily with the guidance you offered in five steps." - Heather Monroe-Kiefer
