... My memoir about my strange childhood home has been accepted for publication. With the addition of some historical material, the book is essentially the same as when I worked with you on it. Thank you so much for all your help. You were very instrumental in my getting this published.

Memoir Checkup: Make sure your memoir is up to par!

Our experience shows that many writers don't understand the memoir genre and try to write too much or include too many unimportant details. Or they get stuck and aren't sure how to proceed. Our memoir critique is the ideal solution.

The Checkup: As we read and review your memoir, we take note of the critical aspects of the memoir such as: scope, theme, setting, character development, voice, dialogue, motivation, logic, point of view, continuity, pace, word usage, and tone. In our e-mail report, we discuss the critical opening and closing scenes and overall message. We suggest how to improve common writing weaknesses such as overwriting, unclear writing, use of passive voice, and exposition. We point out repeated words, stilted language, and overuse of adverbs and adjectives. Your review will tell you what you need to do next with your memoir and where/how to proceed.
