Memoirs Lite? New Option Lets You Publish a Shorter Book
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.??? Whether you consider yourself a genius or not, if you can put your life story into 20 pages you’ll like our latest option here at Write My Memoirs—a special price of only $4.95 per book to publish your short book. Our books are 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches, which fits about 300-325 words per page.
A short-book idea might appeal for a variety of purposes. For one thing, while a biography typically ends with the subject’s death, an autobiography can feel as if you’re never quite finished. There is always a new adventure on your horizon, so you might want to publish a series of small books to have something tangible even as you continue to follow your life into your later years. Or maybe your youth, military service, career or retirement warrants its own title and volume. Perhaps there’s one particularly compelling or well-written story from your life you would like to have stand alone—perhaps for wider distribution. Even if you include it as a chapter in your memoir, you might also want to try to sell it separately on a website or through bookstores, or use it as a present for your grandchildren.
We also are happy to help you publish any book—even if it is not a memoir. For example, a book of poetry may be only 20 pages. Please visit our publishing page for details.

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!
