The Authors Publish Guide to Memoir Writing and Publishing

About the Book: This book is a guide to telling your story so that it can successfully connect with readers and publishers. The book covers what you should know before writing your memoir, and then gives you resources for finding the publisher, or agent, for your manuscript.

The most popular non-fiction writing over the past decade has been memoir, or contained an element of memoir, such as H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. Even serious works of non-fiction, such as The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, often contain memoir elements.

This book guides authors in crafting a story that meets the needs of today’s publishers and connects with the right readers, in order to maximize the chances of publishing success.

If you’ve ever considered sharing important stories from your life, in memoir form, this book is an indispensable guide.
