Write your Life Story in a Year - Paperback

by Mv Frankland (Author)

According to a recent study of writers, 97 out of 100 stories are languishing in drawers and on hard drives.

Write your Life Story in a Year will ensure that your story is NOT one of them!

This course will support you from the first to the last word of your book, whilst nurturing your talent as a writer.
You will start by deciding whether you want to write an autobiography, (your life so far in its entirety, ) or a memoir, (a slice of your life.)

Next you will explore the reasons you want to write your life story, the experiences and commitment you will be bringing to it, and then the book will support you every step of the way from generating those memories to completing your story.

You may also find the separately available companion workbook useful.
