Writing Memoir by Anna Meryt

Writing Memoir by Anna Meryt

Have you got a story you're burning to tell - a true story from your life (not your WHOLE life story - memoir is a part of your life). The events you want to write about, did they last weeks, months, or years? You decide.-Do you think it's a cracking good story?-Read this book to find out how to turn YOUR STORY into a memoir. -Chapters include planning, story-telling, place and time, character, description, voice, publishing and marketing. This book explains how you can develop your writing skills and avoid some of the pitfalls that can be encountered. This is not a quick fix book - it's for those who have a serious desire to write a book and publish it. First, you must learn your craft. Then you must practise and get feedback. I did for ten years. Then you can look at your publishing options. Good Luck. Stay Focused. You CAN do it. Here's a quote from an independent reviewer last week: This is an awesome book and a must read for anyone who dreams of writing a memoir. I have been writing nonfiction since the early 80s but had no clue as to how to write a memoir until I read this book. People have been telling me for years that I should write about my life, now I know how to go about writing my first memoir. Thank You This review is on Amazon and is by a totally unknown and independent reviewer].

Anna Meryt has been writing poetry all her life and had her first poem - about the Vietnam War - published in her convent school magazine in Wales. She has had many single poems published in anthologies, including The West In Her Eye, and Her Mind's Eye (ed. Rachel Lever). Highgate Poet's 2013 anthology is the most recent (Feb 2013).

Her first poetry pamphlet was published last year - Heartbroke. Dolly Mix is her second collection. She published her first book in September 2015 - a memoir set in South Africa in the 1970s (where she lived for a few years), titled A Hippopotamus at The Table.
