The Art of the Memoir: How to Write & Sell Your Life Story

In this one-of-a-kind Agent One-on-One boot camp, literary agent and
author Paula Munier draws upon her extensive background in publishing, her intimate knowledge of the marketplace, and her personal experience writing her own memoir to give you the tools you need to write and sell your life story. You'll learn how to:
  • Find your authentic voice
  • Decide what to put in your memoir—and what to leave out
  • Structure your story in the most compelling way
  • Heighten the drama—from the small moments to the big events
  • Use story questions to keep readers turning the pages
  • Conduct research to fill in the gaps and achieve verisimilitude
  • Adopt fictional techniques to deepen the emotional impact of your story
  • Apply an organizing principle to set your story apart from the competition
