Your Memoir Writing Journey: From Inception to Publication

Your Memoir Writing Journey: From Inception to Publication (Starting at $59)

Many writers jump into memoir writing without a concrete plan. After all they’re writing about their own life. How hard could it be? Well, depending on the publishing intent of the memoir it can be more difficult than it may first appear. Some writers can lose time and motivation because of false starts and dead-ends. If you’re hoping to write a memoir with the best shot at being traditionally published, this workshop is for you.

This workshop will take would-be memoir writers through the life-cycle of writing a book-length memoir of publishable quality. It will help those looking to write a memoir that they hope to get traditionally published. From positioning and planning to proposal writing; to spending time in the querying trenches and navigating agency and/or publishing relationships, this workshop can help writers complete and publish their memoirs with minimal loss of time heading down unsustainable paths.
