HOW TO MAKE memories into MEMOIRS, ideas into ESSAYS, and life into LITERATURE
FULLY REVISED SECOND EDITION
BILL ROORBACH
With Kristen Keckler, phD
DISCOVER the Power of I
Whether your’re creating a memoir or a personal essay, writing about your own life can be a daunting task: How much do you remember? What’s important to include in your story? What about truth and artistic license? How do you even get started mining a life’s worth of memory?
From drawing a map of a remembered neighbourhood to writing from old photographs to composing open letters that reveal the power of your own voice, award-winning author and teacher Bill Roorbach offers innovative techniques that will trigger ideas for all writers of creative nonfiction. With humour and candor, this completely revised and updated second edition of Writing Life Stories-which includes dozens of new lessons and exercises-will teach you to see your life more clearly and show you why real stories are often the most compelling ones.
