Reviews for Telling Your Story: A Guide to Writing Your Memoir Stories

Clear, concise and content laden makes this book an enjoyable read. A bonus is sufficient white spacing makes for clarity and ease of reading. ...What I appreciated most was the solid systematic approach. The steady walk through pace of this book made me confident that I really could organise my thoughts and write with ease.
