Beth McNellen, founder of "The Sound of Your Voice Memoir," has been writing life stories for everyday people for the past 15 years. “I knew when I started, I would have to have a streamline system for capturing a life story and taking it to print—or I wouldn’t be profitable. I also had to produce a compelling book, because my marketing plan was for people to pass their books around and have them read so that others would want to use my services.” This process is covered fully in her book, "Create a Sound of Your Voice Memoir: 10 Simple Steps," and this 3 hour workshop will cover the first 3 steps, which essentially get a project from ground zero to rough draft. Her rich, character driven memoirs have been called “portraits in words,” and it’s this system that takes it there. Whether you’re interested in doing your own memoir, your Aunt Ida’s, or starting a lucrative career rich in rewards, this class will give you the key to get the job done and done well. Dress comfortably and bring your water, a pen, and a pack of 3 X 5 index cards, lined or otherwise. Prepare to laugh, cry, and remember the golden days of childhood.
