How to Write Your Memoir, with James G. Robinson

Everyone’s got a story — especially you! The tricky part is writing about it. Telling your own story might just be the hardest story to tell, but this webinar with author and Columbia adjunct professor, James G. Robinson will help.

Robinson wrote the deeply personal memoir More Than We Expected, which chronicles the wondrous life and tragic death of his five year old son. Combining his own experience writing and selling his book, his work teaching expository writing, and even his experience at The New York Times, Robinson will give you a solid foundation upon which to write your own memoir. In this event, we’ll cover topics such as:

• How do you narrow down your story?
• What personal elements do you reveal, and which do you keep?
• What is a realistic expectation for selling your memoir?

If you’ve ever thought about sharing your story with the world, this Q&A is a must watch.
