Over the years, we have worked with thousands of clients who aspired to leave a written legacy—whether in workshops, tele-classes, coaching, editing, ghostwriting or book production. If this is you, we want to tell you that leaving a written legacy is possible—very possible
We are proud of our writers.
Since 1989 we have helped hundreds of thousands of pages to be published in well-crafted books. We post here both what are among the best memoir excerpts from some of these many books and stand-alone stories that are still in the process of becoming a book.
These writers anthologized below have worked long and thoughtfully to leave a written legacy for their children and the world. Many have written with a cause in mind while others have simply wanted to leave a record behind of their lives.
Enjoy these excerpts from the memoirs of The Memoir Network clients. They will not only entertain you for the while you are reading, but it is our hope that they will also provide you with guidance and motivation for your own writing.
