Freeze Frame: How to Write Flash Memoir

by Jane Hertenstein

Overview

Many of us are looking to write memories-either in the form of literary memoir or simply to record family history. This how-to book looks at memoir in small, bite-size pieces, helping the writer to isolate or freeze-frame a moment and then distill it onto paper.
