How to Write Your Life Story

The complete guide to creating a personal memoir

Karen Ulrich

Everyone has a story to tell and a wealth of experiences to capture for posterity, along with a lifetime of photographs and memorabilia to preserve. How To Write Your Life Story shows you how to collect these treasured moments and elements and present them in an attractive and original way, whether for your own amusement or as a keepsake for your family and future generations. As well as personal examples, the author selects autobiographical material from leading artists and writers to demonstrate a range of special ways to make a memoir.

Whether your motivation is artistic or therapeutic (journalling can be a great tool for healing or self-discovery), How To Write Your Life Story helps you to get started. With advice on writing with flair as well as ideas for creating beautiful illustrations, How To Write Your Life Story provides all you need to catalogue your memories with style.
