How to Write Your Life Story by Ralph Fletcher
categories: Mrs. McGriff
I will definitely be turning to this book the next time I teach memoirs. This slim little book (under 100 pages) has much wisdom to share about writing the stories of your life. My favorite part is the variety of forms explored with memoir–from poetry to picture books to narratives.
In addition to sharing several memoirs from his own life, Fletcher interviews several popular YA writers who have written memoirs and explores different ways to craft your writing.
If you are interested in telling the story of your life, check this one out and pick up a pen and paper while you read.
