Book Overview
An extraordinary "practical resource for beginners" looking to write their own memoir--now new and revised (Kirkus Reviews) The greatest story you could write is one you've experienced yourself. Knowing where to start is the hardest part, but it just got a little easier with this essential guidebook for anyone wanting to write a memoir. Did you know that the #1 thing that baby boomers want to do in retirement is write a book--about themselves? It's not that every person has lived such a unique or dramatic life, but we inherently understand that writing a memoir--whether it's a book, blog, or just a letter to a child--is the single greatest path to self-examination. Through the use of disarmingly frank, but wildly fun tactics that offer you simple and effective guidelines that work, you can stop treading water in writing exercises or hiding behind writer's block. Previously self-published under the title, Writing What You Know: Raelia, this book has found an enthusiastic audience that now writes with intent.

Roach's welcome formula for writing
Published by Cheryl Achterberg , 1 year ago
I can hear Roach's voice throughout this small volume, wry, funny, honest, and true to form. She's no nonsense and her advice to writing a memoir comes without decoration. The reader needs nothing more than themselves. Ditch the prompts and proceed as she says with intent. What a relief to read and follow. Give it a try!
