In Writing Memoir: The Practical Guide to Writing and Publishing the Story of Your Life, Jerry Payne details, in an easy-to-follow way,áhow toátake the particulars of oneâÇÖs lifeáand weave them into a moving, compelling, page-turning story. Using examples from his own works as well as other works from the masters of the genre, Payne discussesánarrative arc, theme, character development, description, dialogue, flow, and voice.Concise, yet comprehensive, Writing Memoir also covers essential concerns like how to construct an effective outline, how to avoid common errors of grammar and punctuation, how to go about editing and rewriting, how to view oneâÇÖsábook critically and objectively, and the ins and outs of both traditional publishing and self-publishing.
