Create an Upbeat Memoir
Unlike an autobiography which chronicles your life, the memoir is about a slice of your life. It can define time - such as growing up, college years or family, or special occurrences like holidays, travels or the cars that reflected who you were. Ingrid is an expert at turning piles of information into logical reading matter. If writing about your whole life is too big a task to tackle, pick a favorite life topic and she’ll guide you through the steps in creating a memoir book to share and enjoy. And yes, your memoir can include photos, recipes, and journal entries.
