Blueprint for a Memoir: How to Write a Memoir for the Marketplace - Jennie Nash

Top book coach Jennie Nash teaches you how to think about memoir in a whole new way. \n The surest thing a writer has, in a genre that's never that sure, is Jennie's hard won, no-stone-left-unturned Blueprint system. It's immensely helpful and constructive. -Monica Holloway, author of the memoirs Cowboy and Wills, and Remarrying Michael: My Second Marriage to my First Husband \n There is a big difference between writing memoir for your own purposes-to share your legacy, to heal, to learn to write, because you are curious or called to do it-and writing memoir for other people to read. If your intention is to publish your memoir, there are concepts you need to understand and decisions you need to make. The Blueprint method will help you understand how to approach the work of writing memoir so that you have the best chance of success in the marketplace. \n Blueprint for a Memoir is a step-by-step process for defining what you want to say, deciding what to leave out, and crafting a pitch to the industry professionals who can bring it life. All you need to take advantage of the Blueprint is a story you want to share with the world and the willingness to take a few weeks to work through 14 tough questions. \n Jennie Nash is the creator of the book coach certification program at Author Accelerator and has taught hundreds of book coaches and thousands of writers how to use the Blueprint for a Book system to help them produce their best work in the most efficient way.
