Memoir coach and author Marion Roach

Welcome to The Memoir Project, the portal to your writing life.

Join Me Writing Memoir on Pinterest

logoCREATIVE INSPIRATION COMES at you from every direction. In this time of hyper-media involvement, we can sometimes simply want to duck. But don’t. I mean, why should you when I am willing to taking on the task of organization for you? Nothing like tidying up the universe to make a woman feel good, right? And I am feeling good, creating Pinterest pages for memoir that will make your writing lives much, much easier.

Come have a look. To date, I have created seven, and though all are works in progress, some are merely place-savers as I gather my wits; several are filling out nicely. The four that are up and running are:

  • Memoir Reading List, where I give you links to books that have taught me something significant about writing memoir
  • Memoir Writing Lessons, which links to posts on my blog that give you those one-topic-at-a-time best tips for writing memoir
  • Writing Inspiration, which is all the things I am reading to make me better at writing memoir
  • Publishing Memoir, which contains links to the very best places to go to publish your memoir writing

I will be adding to all the pages all the time, so please do not think these are exhaustive. As I read, I’ll add. As I remember, I’ll add. And as my students and memoir coaching clients tell me about books that inspire them, places they’ve published their work, and what they read to get the work done, I’ll add.

Don’t know Pinterest? It makes the creative more visual. Give it a try.

    Oh I love this using Pinterest. I’m usually tearing myself away from looking at clothes so here’s a writing tool to interrupt my favorite procrastination:) Thank you!

      Thank you, Diane.
      Yes, yes: The clothes! The shoes!
      But better to be writing.
      Ahhh.
