ABOUT THIS ONDEMAND WEBINAR

Many people think their life, or a specific experience in their life, would make a great book. The challenge is that even people with the most fascinating lives usually can't write down their experiences in a way that makes a great book. And yet, some of the most brilliant, riveting novels are about ordinary people in ordinary situations. So how do you translate your real life experiences-common or uncommon-into a brilliant story?

In this presentation, Ivory Madison helps you develop your own roadmap to write, edit, and market your memoir. There is a formula for all great stories, and Madison shares with you what every successful novelist knows about a successful story arc and how you can apply it to your memoir while staying true to your life story. She also shares her foolproof editing method, now used by many writing coaches at Stanford Business School. You'll discover how to determine if the marketplace will respond favorably to a memoir like yours, and what to learn from the best-selling memoirs of all time.

Common questions and concerns about your memoir are answered. Madison helps you navigate issues like what to do when your mother wants to read it, and whether people can sue you over your portrayal of them.

No matter what stage your memoir is at, this presentation not only provides you with the tools to transform your idea into a successful book, it also offers the encouragement you need to follow through. This includes insights from the latest brain research explaining why writing about your past is a crucial tool for moving forward with your life in a positive way.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How to build trust with readers by being completely honest
  • How to find your authentic voice and let it shine through
  • Tools to analyze your story so you know what's essential and what's superfluous
  • How to write real-life scenes to be as riveting as your favorite fiction
  • Why writing, editing, and marketing area separate activities and how to use this approach to get better results in all three stages of your project, plus a unique approach to necessary research
  • What type of memoir you're writing from a publisher's perspective and if they will want to publish it, plus pitfalls to avoid if you plan to self-publish
  • How to handle your inner critic, fear of embarrassment, and fear of not being believed

The Squeaker gave out the first week
I got this for my playful chihuahua. The size is rather large for him, but that's really not an issue for him; he already thinks he's ferocious and big as a Rottweiler. The Squeaker worked at first, but it's not attached to anything on the inside, so it floats freely and is hard to locate and squeeze, without it slipping out of my grasp. After a week, the squeaker is now completely collapsed and doesn't work at all. Its a terrible design. The Squeaker should be easily accessible, firmly attached to something on the inside, and should be more durable.

Strong hold
Color: Multi-colored, Color: Multi-colored
Very good product. I’m definitely impressed. I have two German shepherds and this toy is definitely durable and does what it’s made to do. The suction is great. The company even gives you a clear plastic strip that you can actually put on the floor and then put the suction cup on it For better grip. I’ve had suction toys before which was absolutely horrible. This one definitely supersedes all others. The suction comes off once in a while but usually that’s because if my dogs are literally biting on the suction cup part lol. But with confidence. Great product

Base of you is very durable
Color: Blue
Overall this is a fun toy. My German Shepherd loves it. The ropes were chewed off within the first hour which was disappointing. Using it for treats did not work because the opening is so large. It has become only a chew toy and it is very durable. Since I bought this to enjoy the extra features, I am disappointed. I was able to buy three chew only toys for the same price. I still give it four stars because my dog likes it so much.
