Have you ever wondered how you’ll fit your entire life into a single book?

If so, you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re exploring one of the most common mistakes aspiring memoir writers make: trying to tell everything.

You’ll learn:

• Why memoir is different from autobiography

• Why readers connect to transformation, not timelines

• How defining moments create structure

• Why the goal of memoir is meaning, not documentation

• How to identify the stories that actually belong in your book

One of the most important takeaways:

Your memoir is not about everything that happened to you. It’s about what changed you.
