Lita Kurth’s book, Writing Memoir in Flashes: Creative Ways to Tell Your True Stories, One Memory at a Time, is an excellent tool to help you start writing your stories. The author leads the reader, the potential memoirist, through a series of steps to get the creative juices flowing. Each chapter shares suggestions, as well as examples of other memoirists’ stories, some humorous, others poignant, many written by authors (some of whom are students) who are unfamiliar to the general reading public. There are some exercises to help with the writing journey. Further resources are provided at the end of the book, including some useful publications, as well as a list of “Insider Terms” that many people new to the writing game might not be familiar with. This is a great resource to help you find your voice in memoir stories.
