Click to see Ina for Author Views, speaking about "Stories From The Heart" books, by members of the Footprints Writing Clubs | "Writing, like any creative act, takes courage, and Hillebrandt is to be commended for helping people vanquish their own fears about how to start, tap into their inner memoirist and come out with a book of their own. Although 'How to Write Your Memoirs' is written in a clear, easy-to follow-fashion, the book is far from elementary. Accomplishing its goals in a sophisticated way, it is also a highly worthwhile guide for experienced writers who haven't yet tackled the genre. The structure and content ideas Ina has compiled help them push past their fear of jumping into a new form."
Ron Kenner, editor of award winning books, rkedit.com You want to write your life - this is the book! "I've been buying a lot of stuff for me, and my wife was getting a bit miffed. So I needed to find something for her so she can have some packages in the mail! She has always wanted to be able to write her memoirs, but didn't have a clue. So I searched, and found, amazingly... this book, which is exactly that. A how-to for those who want to write their own life stories. My wife "ate it up." It's written in very easy to understand steps. Not that the writer is condescending, just that she is clear and easy to understand! My wife really learned a great deal and is writing away! (I have to admit, I never was one for "how- to" books of any kind, but this one really does tell you how to, and you do!) I took a "peek" at some of her work, and to my delight, she's really very good! I know my wife has talent, but really, I think this book jump-started it. Not only to help her, but to give a bit of a fire under her to do the writing in the first place. If you are interested in memoir writing, or know someone who is, especially if they seem stuck and can't get to it, buy this book. It's as simple as that." "Tarkus" review on Amazon.com "I find Ina Hillebrandt's 'How to Write Your Memoirs' to be a comprehensive and concise manual. It starts with basic information which systematically leads into a variety of ideas and examples of style and substance....a helpful tool for future writers...I believe it will even inspire some that think of themselves as not possessing writing skills. I enjoyed the book and strongly recommend it." David Brook, member Footprints Writing Club, and contributing author to the group's Amazon.com bestseller |
