The Craft of Memoir Writing: A Brief Practical Guide is written for creative writing students and emerging memoirists who seek to turn lived experience into compelling narrative.

At its core, memoir is an act of self-discovery: a conversation between past and present, memory and imagination, self and place.

Blending clear guidance with practical exercises, reflective prompts and close readings from memoir and fiction, this book explores voice, structure, timeline, dialogue, and silence.

With hands-on activities and literary examples throughout, it helps writers shape authentic material with clarity and care.
