I’m currently enrolled in Brooke and Linda Joy’s 6-week memoir bootcamp (which is phenomenal), so reading this book alongside the workshop has been really, really helpful. These two have a way of breaking things down into manageable parts, making writing accessible to anyone who wants to learn. Thanks, Brooke & Linda Joy!

This book is a quick read on writing memoir for ordinary people. It briefly covers organization, outlining, elements of writing, and revising. It is an overview and you can find entire books on things covered in a paragraph here. There are examples included but it is not a guide to memoirs the authors found valuable. It is also not a list of writing prompts. If I decide to write a memoir I will reread this book at least once. The authors have written memoirs and are memoir coaches online.
