If you’d like some help in writing your memoir, consider reading the Lifetales Workbook for step-by-step help in constructing a memoir.
Guidelines:
Written memoirs should be under 2000 words. Submit as a .doc or .rtf. No pdfs please!
Not a writer? Worried about your spelling and grammar? Don’t be! I personally edit all submissions, so your memoir will be perfect.
Photographs and artwork should be scans of the actual photo or work (or high quality images). Ideally, images should be at least 200 dpi. All photographs and artwork should be from your own collection or properly cited with permission for use from the owner(s).
Deadline for submissions: November 15, 2013
Send submissions and/or queries to: karenzomedia@gmail.com
I will be submitting a piece about a Special Person before the November deadline. Can I send a picture after the entry is accepted?
Thanks,

Can we submit excerpts from published work. I’d love to submit a chapter from my book, “Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey.”
