If you're like me, you love reading memoirs. I love reading memoirs and have spent a good portion of my writing career, teaching memoir and writing memoir.

One of the most frequently asked questions is how is a memoir different from an autobiography. While a memoir focuses primarily on one portion of your life, an autobiography is really the story of your entire life. Most memoirs focus on childhood into adulthood or a particular section of your adult life where you were surviving trauma, overcoming a particular obstacle, or evolving and changing in some really dramatic way.

Memoir is a powerful tool. It's a powerful tool for writers in terms of not just writing a beautiful story, but it also provides therapy. Memoir is a powerful way to mold your personal story into a story that can break down the walls between people that can act as a bridge to readers. So, as you're thinking about how to write your memoir, think in terms of focusing it on one aspect of your life. Memoir is deeply meaningful and deeply, deeply transformative.
