About this event
Agents, editors and publishing professionals love to tell us that “memoir doesn’t sell.” If you’re not a celebrity, it’s a tough market out there, right? But memoirs sell every day—often before they’re fully written, to writers without huge social media followings, in multiple six- and seven-figure deals. The problem is that many memoirs aren’t clearly positioned.
