GP 213 - Writing a Memoir?

Gerald and his co-host Cheyenne Cockrell have a spirited discussion about writing confessional, self-revealing stories.

• When is a memoir likely to morph into fiction?
• You have your opinions and your impressions, but what's your approach to the facts?
• How should you portray real-life characters who might be offended by their portrayals?
• How is it that many memoir manuscripts are actually two books in one?
• When do you need a developmental editor? A ghostwriter?
• What real-life details will engage readers?
