Writing Memoirs
Tips to Making Your Memoirs
Great
Do not make up incidents to make your life more real or more
intriguing to readers. The term “memoir” should reflect works
that are the truth as best as the author can find it. Do not
intentionally make up events or characters so the reader
believes something happened that did not happen.
"Real writers understand that writing isn't about the
writer. No matter how exciting or unusual our personal
experiences, they don't matter if we can't broaden those
incidents and make the universally appealing and practical." -
Julie Scudder Dearyan, The Christian Communicator,
