But if you’ve never written a manuscript before – short, or long – you might appreciate some dos and don’ts from my experience. #books #bibliophile #writingprompts #authorquote #editingtips #firstdraft #storytelling #bookquote #storystructure #herosjourney #nonfiction #firstdraft #editing

Why memoir sells
Memoir is the most complex and widely misunderstood genre in publishing, and without knowing this part of selling a memoir manuscript, it took much longer to both write AND sell my first memoir than it needed to.
