Joining host Judith Briles is Marilyn Van Derbur, winner of Writers Digest Best Self-Published Book Award, author of the international bestseller Miss America By Day that revealed her betrayal and sexual assault at the age of 5 until she was 18.

1. Knowing what your intention is as the author before you start writing.
2. Include pictures that carry the story, not fluff for fillers.
3. Use lots of stories and examples.
4. Tie everything together.
5. End with power.
If you are writing a memoir; if you are writing a book that delivers hope and help; if you are writing a book that shouts out courage, then this episode of AuthorU-Your Guide to Book Publishing is for you.
