Memoir writing nyc

Another important aspect of writing a good memoir is researching around the context of your story

For example, if your story begins at the age of 18 in your old family home, perhaps consider: – who might have lived there before you? – why did your parents move there? – what were the expectations like for a typical 18 year old at the time?

Memoir is a genre that challenges the writer in emotional ways as well as technical ones; not only in the psychoanalysis they must conduct upon themselves—the psychological journey they’ve gone on to write it—but in the impact the act of writing and revelation has on the people around them

Memoir for Me has captured over 200 life stories and featured in the Chicago Tribune, the WGN Morning Show, and Windy City Live
