The Biggest Mistake Memoir Writers Make

One of the main reasons our channel exists is because we want to help writers finish their books and avoid the mistakes that will derail their projects. Stories deserve to be told and not languish in the bottom of drawer or in some untouched computer file for years and years.

From working with authors, we have found that all mistakes really come back to the same starting point--resisting the planning stage. In this video, Amanda outlines why this is such a mistake and how to avoid it.

Do you have a memoir you're wanting to write, but not sure how to get started? Or you've started a memoir but now you're stuck? We can help!
