Writing About Your Life by William Zinsser
Written with elegance, warmth, and humor, this highly original teaching memoir by William Zinsser--renowned bestselling author of On Writing Well gives you the tools to organize and recover your past, and the confidence to believe in your life narrative. His method is to take you on a memoir of his own: 13 chapters in which he recalls dramatic, amusing, and often surprising moments in his long and varied life as a writer, editor, teacher, and traveler. Along the way, Zinsser pauses to explain the technical decisions he made as he wrote about his life. They are the same decisions you'll have to make as you write about your own life: matters of selection, condensation, focus, attitude, voice, and tone.William Zinsser began his career as a reporter for the New York Herald Tribune and went on to write for a variety of publications. Writing to Learn, American Locations, Mitchell & Ruff: An American Profile in Jazz, and Easy to Remember: The Great American Songwriters and Their Songs are among his seventeen works, in addition to On Writing Well. He was a writer who taught at Yale and the New School. In 2015, William Zinsser passed away.
