We All Have a Story: Memoir Musings and Mistakes

SouthWest Writers presents memoirist Kathleen A. Hessler, discussing how everyone has a story, but not everyone wants to share it. If you want to write a memoir, or have written one and are deciding whether to seek an agent, a publisher, self-publish, or set it aside for later, this talk is for you. This is not a how-to speech; rather, it is an opportunity to learn from my mistakes.

• Why write a memoir?
• Who is your audience: Family or the world?
• Writing, research, and critique groups: Value of sharing as you write.
• Editors and editing services: Be clear about what your editor will do for you.
• Beta Readers: What is a beta reader, and what benefit do they offer?
• Agents, Publishers, and Self-publishing
• Marketing
