Find Write My Memoirs on Facebook!

Please come visit WriteMyMemoirs on Facebook!

Since we hope to reach everyone who needs help and motivation with the somewhat daunting task of writing a memoir, WriteMyMemoirs has just joined Facebook! We are a “fan page,??? which means you become our fans rather than our friends. In Facebook land, there’s a distinction.

What it means to our members is that you can easily talk to us and talk to each other. Post something on our wall! We will use that space to alert everyone when a new blog entry has been posted here on writemymemoirs.com, and we’ll keep up with other things relevant to writing an autobiography.

If you are not very familiar with Facebook, you might want to give it a try. Social networking sites like Facebook can be a great way to stay connected with friends and family members, particularly younger people. You can share photos, everyday thoughts and links to other Internet websites. As time goes on, perhaps our little memoir community will grow and we’ll have some good discussions going about writing, memories and life in general. See you over there!

Then just set up a chapter and start writing your memoir. Don’t worry about rules. There are no rules to writing your memoir; there are only trends. These trends are based on techniques and features identified in current top-selling memoirs. At best, they’re the flavor of the month. If you’re capturing your life in print for your family, for your own gratification or to inspire readers, rather than aiming to set off Hollywood screenplay bidding wars, these trends don’t even apply to you. You’ll write the memoir that suits you best, and it will be timeless, not trend-driven.There are no rules, but there are four steps:

1. Theme/framework
2. Writing
3. Editing/polishing
4. Self-publishing

You’ve researched this, too, and you’ve been shocked at the price for getting help with any one of those steps, much less all four. That’s because most memoir sites promise to commercialize your work. They’ll follow a formula based on current memoir trends, because they want to convince you that they can turn your memoir into a best-seller. These sites overwhelm you with unnecessary information not to help you, the memoir author, but to address Search Engine Optimization (SEO) algorithms so they can sell more.

That’s not what we do at Write My Memoirs. Our small community of coaches, writers and editors are every bit as skilled as any you’ll find, and we charge appropriately for their expertise and the time they’ll spend helping you craft a compelling, enjoyable read. But you won’t pay an upcharge for other websites’ commercialization, the marketing that follows, and the pages of intimidating “advice.” You can sell your book if you like—we have ISBNs available for you—but our organic process of capturing your story takes a noncommercial path.

If you want help with any or all of the four steps above, choose from our services or save money by selecting one of our packages. If you’d like to talk about what’s right for you, schedule a call. One year from now, you can be holding your published memoir in your hand. And at that point, it will be a big deal!
