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, July 2006
