This is your roadmap for completing the memoir you've dreamed about writing.

"Rachael Herron resonates with our audience, and not just because she knows her stuff-she does-or because she's hilarious-she is-but because her honesty and earnestness come through in all her messaging." (Samantha Sanders, Writer's Digest)

Writing a memoir is daunting! You're the expert on your life, naturally, but narrating and organizing your own experiences in the best way can feel impossible. Many writers become frustrated in early drafting stages and quit after a couple of brief attempts. Learn from best-selling memoirist Rachael Herron (who teaches this class at Stanford Continuing Studies) how to fast-draft your memoir while keeping its structure compelling. Learn how to frame your life's story and give it a natural arc to keep your reader glued to the page. Figure out how to handle those family and friends you're writing about. Explore what truth means in memoir. Work quickly to quiet the inner critic.

Most of all, learn how to get out of your own way to get the words on the page. You can do this! Rachael will show you how.

I was searching for info online about how to start writing my memoir. I came across a video with Rachael in it, and subsequently grabbed her book on Audible. It was exactly what I needed, and I finished it in the past 2 days. I know I’ll be referring to it more as I dive into the writing process. Thank you!!

Absolutely loved it

I had been writing a book about my experience exposing a serial predator for four solid years. I listened to Rachael’s book six months ago and completely started from scratch. I am excited to say that Wildfire: A Memoir by Karrah Youngblood (me) is out September 10th. If you’re stuck writing your book, this is the answer.

Thank you Rachael! You helped a girl in Oklahoma finally finish her memoir.

This guide was truly inspiring for me, and I had to also purchase a copy on my Kindle to refer back to while writing my memoir. I have my MFA in writing and have taught writing classes but this book literally helped me work on my own memoir. For me the hardest part is getting everything down in a rough draft, and following the advice and steps here helped me achieve my goal.

One of the best guides to begin your memoir

But I’ve just decided to set those aside and focus just on Rachel’s. I also ordered a paper copy because I know myself; I will be able to go back to the sections I need much more easily in the paperback copy, but I am super glad I listened to this on Audible first. She covers absolutely everything. Highly recommended.

I have a dozen memoir writing books…
