"A guide which helps writers find what is most true, most human, and most unique in their own life."
Writing Life Stories
by Bill Roorbach
Every life is full of engaging, untold stories. Author Bill Roorbach explains how to turn these life events into vivid personal essays and riveting memoirs. His friendly instruction and stimulating exercises teach writers how to: -- open up memory, access emotion and discover compelling material -- shape scenes from experience, as life events become plot lines -- populate stories with the fascinating, silly and maddening "characters" that surround them -- their family members and friends. From drawing a map of a remembered neighborhood, to yelling in public as a method of capturing passion on paper, Roorbach offers innovative techniques of value to writers at all stages of their craft. Much more than teaching the rudiments of autobiography, this book will help writers see their own lives more clearly, while learning that real stories are often the best ones.
Writing Your Life
by Lou Willett Stanek
We all have stories to tell - of a rapturous first kiss, a life altering moment of choice, or the shocking revelation of a long-guarded secret. And these stories are often as distinctive, fascinating, exciting and entertaining as those found in the memoirs and autobiographies that currently top the nation's bestseller lists. We just need to know how to tell them best. Veteran writing teacher, lecturer, and author of So You Want to Write a Novel, Lou Willett Stanek can help you translate your joys and ordeals, thoughts and triumphs into superbly crafted nonfiction - taking you step-by-step through the writing process with care, encouragement, and expert advice. She shows you how to unlock your memories, create settings and scenes, portray major characters and dramatic events. And she offers the key to finding your own unique voice, and to presenting your greatest character - yourself - without boring your reader or sounding egotistical.
Legacy
by Linda Spence
Legacy: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Personal History is animated by the belief that every life has value and knowledge for others. A personal history is a gift to share. It can restore the connection between generations. What did another time feel like, what did you do to pass the time - or to survive - and how did you feel about your choices? The small joys, triumphs, and turning points in a life have special meaning when shared with those who know the writer and who themselves are trying to respond appropriately when life graces them with blessings or seems to come up against a brick wall. Through supportive coaching, stimulating questions, shared memories, and evocative photographs, the process of producing a personal history becomes intriguing and engaging. With Legacy the possibilities expand, and our present and future find nourishment and knowledge in the past.
