Saving Your Life: A guide to writing your life story

Saving Your Life will help you embark on the exciting adventure of life-story writing. There are many reasons for composing a memoir, but two of the benefits truly stand out. First, you provide a written treasury of your experiences and thoughts for family, friends and the generations to come; and second, it is an immensely creative, reflective and satisfying endeavour. Author Glenys Stow presents a host of ideas, plans, outlines and encouragement based on her years of experience teaching the craft of memoir writing. She provides easy-to-follow suggestions for starting to write, nurturing and developing memories, and organizing your material into book form. Saving Your Life also includes contributions from 37 life-story writers which vividly illustrate the value of memoir writing.
