Preserving history…one life story at a time…

Writing Your Lifetales

Lifetales Books: memoirs and autobiographies, how-to (write, market, publish, workshop, etc.) memoir, genealogy related. Titles will reflect the company’s motto, Preserving history…one life story at a time.

In 1999 I began teaching memoir and journaling classes in Palm Beach County.  I also worked as a Personal Historian, taping clients memoirs and transcribing them to book form.

A few of the topics I explore with readers are:

  • Why should we write our memoirs?
  • Basic Writing Rules for Memoirs
  • Dealing with Painful Issues, Truth, and Personal Myths
  • Items to include in your memoir
  • Interviewing Friends and Family Members
  • Research
  • Putting it all Together
  • Re-writes
  • Publishing Your Memoirs
  • Getting professional assistance

What do you get out of it?

A sense of accomplishment, a hopefully healed heart, a documentation for the future that you passed this way, a real published book that you can put on your shelf and, God willing, a little bit of cash in the bank.

If you would like to jump out on your own then here are a few things that you may find helpful on your journey:
