Mr. McCane
I’ve read quite a few books this year on writing nonfiction. With that being said, I didn’t learn anything new with this one. It was a little dated, but overall, solid book with solid tips.
I recommend starting with this book. It breaks down the differences between autobiography and memoir, what you should focus on before getting started, how to write them, and much more. It’s full of examples. The part I enjoyed the most is that he leaves a list of recommended memoirs at the end of the book.
