The Memoir Project: A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text for Writing & Life (Grand Central Publishing) is the book to get you started writing memoir. Irreverent, funny, and written from the perspective of someone who started her career at The New York Times and went on to write and publish four mass-market books, read her essays on NPR’s All Things Considered and write op-eds and essays for some of the best publications in the world - and wants to teach you to do the same - this book was written with you in mind. It may very well be all you need, or so thousands of readers tell me. Start with reading it as step two on a path you can take with me. With no writing prompts, time-wasting exercises or bumper-sticker adages, this book teaches you what I call writing with intent, a clear path to getting your work done to your – and the reader’s – delight.

This is the book to read to learn to write memoir.

MY MOST RECENT BOOK, The Memoir Project, A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text on Writing & Life (Grand Central Publishing), was the love child born from my years of teaching memoir writing.
