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
