This book gives a lot of resources to help out first time memoir writers or writers that may have made expensive mistakes in publishing. I loved all the suggestions the author makes for promoting. This book is great for getting an idea of how to publish your memoir - giving more options to publish than going through a publisher. I had no idea all the different ways available to publish.

How to Write a Bestselling Memoir

I had already read 3 of Victoria Twead's books in the "Two Old Fools" series (adored them and eagerly awaiting the 4th in the series). It whetted my appetite to find out more about possibly writing my memoirs. Having kept notes for several years with the intention of "one day I will write . . .", it was too good an opportunity to pass up on reading "How to write a bestselling memoir". What a superb self-help book with great ideas for guidance, practical information to help a person make informed choices and pitfalls to avoid and why to avoid them. Highly recommend this book - I was delighted to have purchased it and have already recommended it to 3 more people.
