       So, thinking about writing the story of your life?  We live in a day and age where it is perfectly normal to work on a personal project, no longer considered impolite to talk about yourself. But how to get started can be daunting.

Spend 90 minutes with former Random House Senior Editor and memoir writing coach Jennifer Basye Sander and get that book project started! Jennifer guides you through the process of getting your memories onto the page and then turning them into a more structured personal memoir. (BIG NEWS—Jennifer’s book on writing memoirs: Before I Go There’s Something More That You Should Know: 100 Prompts to Help You Write Your Life Story, will be published by Skyhorse in 2014.)
