Unfolding the Mysteries of Memoir Writing: Getting The Yin and Yang Of It

Anyone who has survived a tragedy, a trauma or the turbulence that tests us all has most likely wondered if they should write a book about the experience. This is how we’re made. We’re born creators, born to help each other—and writing a book to help others navigate the potholes is a natural inclination. But where do we begin? How do we deal with the emotional parts, the spiritual dimension, the psychological toll of it all. Questions plague us, cloud our thoughts, dissuade us, and we die never having done the one daring thing: telling our true story.

This workshop will address these questions and more:

Where do I start?
How do I find a publisher?
Do I need an agent?
How do I write a proposal?
What if I don’t have a platform?
How do I find an editor?
Where will I find the time?
