Writing Your Own Life Story

Another book recently out in a new edition.  The cover has changed and it's been updated a bit ....

Everyone has a story to tell, no matter what their age and background.  However, the process of producing an  account of your own life, which requires creative writing skills, often means that many people will never finish the job.

This book shows you the key skills needed to make a start on your story, to add interest to it with dialogue, description and other narrative techniques.  It's written in a friendly, approachable style

It also contains many examples from the work of students who have been to one of my courses in Writing Your Life Story.
