What I love about all of Denis’s books is his emphasis on realistic goals and on concrete examples. He does not say, “You can do this in a weekend” which, of course, is what we all want to hear! He is encouraging, supportive, and yet invites the reader to understand what goes on behind our emotions that stalls us and then says, “Here are some guides to restart.”
—Mary Anne Harris, memoir writer

I just downloaded this book and already it has been incredibly valuable. I looked up the chapter “Hard Times” because I was stuck describing in my memoir a pivotal event in my life. The questions in that part were just what I needed! Delving into the other sections of this book has given me insight into how to tighten up my writing and also bring punch to some of my stories with which I was not happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Denis, for getting me back on track!

Memoir writers everywhere have the benefit of his experience in this book (and in many others). I recommend Craft a Memoir highly as well as his personal training.
