Revision: That scene may have felt cathartic when you wrote it, but now it's time to revise so readers can decide for themselves if your mother was just like Mommie Dearest.
Marketing: How do you market a memoir? How do you get people to fall in love with your own life story?
Special Guest: Memoirist Ken Guidroz, author of Letters to My Son in Prison, talks about the obstacles of writing and publishing your memoir.
