How to Write a Memoir

November 10, 2020  /  Susannah Breslin

Here’s my advice on writing a memoir:

  1. Write about something more than just yourself. Navel gazing is boring.

  2. Expand the genre. Incorporate narrative nonfiction, investigative journalism, images, drawings, experimental prose, data analyses, etc.

  3. Divide it into pieces. Every brick wall was laid brick by brick.

  4. Ignore gender stereotypes. Eat Pray Love is pablum. Angela’s Ashes is steak.

  5. Good may be the enemy of great, but who wants to settle for good?
