This is the 100th Write My Memoirs Blog!
As I sat down to blog today, as I do every Tuesday, I noticed that this is a milestone—number 100! As you reflect on your life in order to write your memoirs, maybe it’s time for us to reflect on the journey that we continue to take here at WriteMyMemoirs.com.
We use the blog to alert you to changes within the website, bring to your attention interesting memoirs by celebrities and others, link you to pertinent websites, provide grammar and writing tips and motivate you to start writing and stick with it! We blogged about a book that traced the history of the memoir writing tradition. We suggested you use your own annual holiday letters to build the foundation for your memoir. We followed up our discussion of the six-word memoir fad with an offer to help you publish a short book—not limited to six words, but up to 20 pages. And we urged you not to put off writing your story, because you can never be sure that your health, availability and resources will remain in place.
We appreciate all of you who read the blog, find us on Google, sign up and email us with your questions and comments.

Memoirs From Prison, Part II: Why?

Memoirs From Prison, Part II: Why?
Hope all of our Americans had a great Fourth of July! Patriotism plays a role in so many memoirs. But today I want to follow up on last week’s blog about the abundance of prison memoirs. What makes people so reflective once they get behind bars?
There’s the obvious—they have more time on their hands than the rest of us do. Also, writing keeps the mind occupied. A blogger, Caleb Smith, posts this explanation from an essay written by Jay Parini: “These books are about self-realization as well as self-justification. They describe a similar pattern: getting into trouble, confronting the claustrophobic and unforgiving world of prison, dealing with growing despair until something or somebody offers a crack in the wall, a little bit of daylight shining through. After a great deal of soul-searching, the writer/prisoner reaches a fresh sense of selfhood, coming to terms with the original sin, forgiving himself or herself. In the very best of these memoirs—especially with a prisoner of conscience or one unjustly jailed—there is often a redeeming social vision at work. The genre bleeds into that of spiritual autobiography.???
I see that same soul-searching as part of lots of memoirs, not just those coming out of Sing Sing. Parini’s insight about people’s need to forgive themselves applies to the broader population as well. Writing our memoirs helps us along that path of self-awareness, forgiveness and, ultimately, redemption.

Prison Experience Inspires Memoirs

by

When former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick announced from prison his intention to write a memoir, MLive.com blogger Jeff Wattrick responded with a list of his top five jailhouse autobiographies. Now that my own former Governor, Rod Blagojevich, has been convicted and likely faces incarceration, I thought I’d review Jeff’s list in case Rod wants to start writing.

  1. In the Belly of the Beast, by Jack Abbott, who had help from Norman Mailer in publishing his book. Six months after being released from prison, Abbott killed a man and was sent back to jail, where he committed suicide.
  2. Soul on Ice, by Eldridge Cleaver, the Black Panther leader who authored this late 1960s fresh look at race relations that became a classic.
  3. Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes. More autobiographical novel than memoir, the book and subsequent Broadway musical provided insight into the minds of those who tilt at windmills.
  4. The Gulag Archipelago, by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. This one’s autobiographical history, giving readers an education about Russia, freedom and suffering.
  5. Son of Hope, by David Berkowitz, also known as Son of Sam. His memoir prompted New York and other states to pass “Son of Sam??? laws to keep criminals from earning profits from their memoirs.

Next week I’ll discuss what motivates prisoners to write memoirs behind bars.

So You Think You Can Publish Your Book!

by
So You Think You Can Publish Your Book!
Memoir writers often email us to ask how to go the “traditional??? route in getting their book published. This is what we tell them:
Many writers hope that a traditional publisher will pick up their memoirs for publication. The major advantage in going that route is that the publisher will do all of the distribution and promotion. You could be sent on a national book tour, and the publisher can easily get your book into bookstores and libraries. You might even be offered an advance—a sum of money before you’ve finished your work that gives you the freedom to take the time to write your memoir. And if the publisher is interested in your story but you cannot write it yourself, you could be assigned a professional writer to work with you. The other advantage is that once you’ve been published by a traditional publisher, it’s easier to get a second book picked up similarly.
The downside of publishing with a traditional publisher is that after the expense of the promotion, distribution and the publisher’s profit, there’s not that much left for you. Your share of the royalties from sales of the book is usually pretty low, so unless your book becomes a best-seller you will not earn much money in the long run.
But all of that is typically beside the point for an unknown first-time author, because it’s nearly impossible to make the traditional route happen. First you need to find an agent who believes in your book enough to represent you and pitch it to publishers. Just getting an agent is very difficult. Your writing must be of professional quality, your story must be unique and compelling and sometimes you need an introduction to get an agent to read it in the first place. If your story is newsworthy and you’ve been covered by the national press, or even your local press, the publisher may come to you with an offer to publish your book. If not, it’s unlikely that you will be able to get a traditional publisher to publish it.
Self-publishing is so affordable and quick. I believe that today the easier method is to self-publish, establish a website to promote your book, take it around to some bookstores, and then if your book sells pretty well a publisher may take notice of it and offer to publish a second edition to really get it out there. At Write My Memoirs, we do not have any contacts with agents or publishers. But we can help you to self-publish. Please let us know if you decide to self-publish, and we’ll get started on it.

Baby Boomer Grandparents Are Sure to Write Memoirs

Baby Boomer Grandparents Are Sure to Write Memoirs
With about 10,000 of the American baby boom generation turning 65 each day for the next 19 years, we should see boomers put the boom in the memoir trend.  They’ve redefined every stage of life, and there’s no reason to expect grandparenthood to be different. Consider:
There’s lots to write about. Boomers have been flower children in Haight Ashbury and soldiers in Viet Nam. They’ve marched for civil rights, women’s rights, gay rights and even animal rights. They make up a hefty piece of the workforce in every industry from finance and manufacturing to education, medicine and law. They’ve packed a lot into their 65 years.
Boomers talk about themselves. Whether you view them as narcissistic and egocentric or generously giving and open to sharing, there’s little argument that boomers have made an art of navel gazing. Will they leave this world without documenting their lives? Unlikely.
Being a grandparent is motivating. People want the next generation to have personal and family information about what came before.
It’s easier than ever to write an autobiography. Computers make all the difference. Word processing software provides spellcheck and grammarcheck, while the Internet offers places like our WriteMyMemoirs website for you to access tips and help to get your stories online and into print.
If you were born between 1946 and 1964, you’re a baby boomer. And if you’re here on the Memoirs site, you’ve been thinking that maybe it’s time you wrote your life story. As one of 78 million in your generation, you’re not the only one with that idea.

Your Memoir May Be Your Best Insurance Policy

Your Memoir May Be Your Best Insurance Policy
An overflowing river roars through your ranch, sweeping away your possessions. A twisting tornado blows into your bungalow, scattering and smashing your belongings. An earthquake rumbles beneath your two-flat until all of your worldly goods come crashing to the ground. A fire, a hurricane—it takes just one natural disaster to break your heart. Your home videos are ruined. The artifact you brought home from a trip is in a million pieces. The jewelry with sentimental value is bent beyond recognition. Your treasured photographs, diary and birthday cards are now soaking wet, ripped to shreds or missing altogether.
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal gets it. Surveying his state’s flood damage the other day, he worried out loud that people could lose property—“and their memories.??? Your home insurance may cover the expense of replacing a flooded car or crushed computer, but no insurance policy in the world can guard against heartbreak from losing your memories.
What there is, however, is your memoir. Preserving your memories in a permanent way—digitally online so that you can always publish them into a book if you choose—is an insurance policy in a way, ensuring that you’ll always have your words that express your feelings about what everything has meant to you. Include photos in your memoir so that you retain them. Write from your heart about your travels and the people you love. You never know when wind, water, fire or earth may threaten to claim your memories.

Reading Memoirs? Speed Reading Classes Couldn’t Hurt!

Reading Memoirs? Speed Reading Classes Couldn’t Hurt!
If you follow us on Twitter (twitter.com), you’ll see that today we suggest taking a speed reading course to help you zip through all of those memoirs you’re reading as you write your own. A lot of people think speed reading is a bunch of “malarky,??? as we used to say.
Full disclaimer: I used to teach speed reading with the company I recommend, Iris Reading (irisreading.com). I’m not currently associated with the firm, but I learned a lot by going through the training and watching how the course improved people’s reading habits. I now do read faster than I did before I became involved with it. Everyone can speed up a little or temporarily, and if you continue to practice the methods you can permanently cut your reading time significantly.
The key is to silence the little voice in your head as you read. You still see every word, but instead of hearing each word you have to let your brain recognize the words almost as you would recognize a face. Sometimes it’s fun to read slowly and really savor a book—I hope people do that with your autobiography when you complete it! But, typically, we read in order to gather information as quickly as possible. Don’t fall for any company’s claim that you can learn to read 10,000 words per minute. Iris sets realistic goals and holds affordable classes all over the country. Can’t hurt to try!

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!
