Welcome to the new and improved Write My Memoirs with exciting features!
New Features on Write My Memoirs
If you’re a Facebook friend of Write My Memoirs and during this past week you clicked the link to the previous blog post, you received an error message. We apologize! We’re experiencing a few growing pains, and some of the links on the blog posts themselves are temporarily coming up empty, too. But the reason for that is very exciting! Those links lead to pages that have been replaced, as we’ve now launched our new and improved writemymemoirs.com!
You’ll notice that the top left button, Sign Up and Join Today, now links to an interview page. Optionally, you can answer questions, and your confidential responses become part of your private account to create a timeline indicating the important events and dates of your life. As you’re writing, if you get a little stuck, you can consult the timeline and also ask your account for “hints” to remind you of anything that took place that year.
We’ve also automated our historical section. Instead of flipping through lots of web pages that list historical events by year, you can just click on the little tabs at the bottom of your writing window to read short synopses about developments in inventions, world events, fashion, pop culture and sports. These headlines within our collective lifetime may trigger memories in your personal life that you’ll want to include in your autobiography. Please let us know your thoughts about these changes! And friend us on Facebook—we can talk there, too!

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!
