Over the years, we at the Memoir Network have helped many, many people to turn memories into memoirs. It has been a labor of love—sometimes we sent a shower of kudos, sometimes of tough love. As a result of this collaboration, we now have many shelves of books we have midwifed into existence and are able to offer you interviews with memoir writers who have been successful in producing interesting and meaningful stories.

Our many questions

How appropriate then to have a series of interviews with memoir writers whose books have brought them the satisfaction and audience they so desired.

What was it like for them to write? What were their hard moments? How did they reach their audiences? How were their books received? What would they do differently next time?

We hope to support you, too.

We hope this series will not only honor the many writers we feature in these interviews with memoir writers but support you in your own writing efforts so that, one day, you, too, will be a featured in this series of interviews with memoir writers.

Writing need not be accepted as a lonely and isolating experience. It can be that and much of our writing time is spent alone, but we can also participate in a community of writing that is available at such places as on this blog. This series of interviews with memoir writers is an excellent opportunity for you to join a community, a fellowship, that will keep you energized. If these people could not only write and publish a book but reach an appreciative audience , then why couldn’t you—someday, sooner than you now think possible.
