5.0 out of 5 stars
An informative, helpful and thoroughly compelling book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing Your Life Story: How to Record and Present Your Memories for Friends and Family to Enjoy (Paperback)
I have been told many times that I should write my life story but I was apprehensive and always thought it beyond me. An interview I heard on the Steve Wright show with Michael Oke made me think again. Oke's enthusiasm for his subject persuaded me that if I wanted to write, I could...with a little guidance from his book of course!The book was pleasantly readable and I feel inspired to at least give it a go - current confidence even believes there's a fighting chance I might succeed. So far I've been taken through the basics of structure, preparing to write and some simple research. It sounds easy, but the proof of the pudding... Still, the memories are coming thick and fast at the moment - let's hope it's all as easy as this! Examples are provided to overcome tricky problems, and there are hundreds of ideas, as well as a contact number if (when!) I get stuck. Presentation is covered and I may seek further help at that stage but for now I have plenty to do! At the very least the project is keeping me busy, but reliving my life is also wonderful. Going at the rate I am, I think my book may be ready by Christmas, which might solve the problem of the grandchildren's presents. You never know, they may understand that I was young once.

Excellent book for a beginner to writing a life history,

This review is from: Writing Your Life Story: How to Record and Present Your Memories for Friends and Family to Enjoy (Paperback)
I also heard the interview on Steve Wright and although I had been thinking of this type of project for some time, this galvanised me into actually putting my ideas down and beginning to put things together. The book is written is a very simple and understandable way making it an excellent reference book for anyone wishing to attempt writing for the first time.

Great Book,
By Stirling (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writing Your Life Story: How to Record and Present Your Memories for Friends and Family to Enjoy (Paperback)
Brilliant book and does what the title says it will do. A book for young and old but maybe it's just us oldies who feel the need to record information for future generations. I wish my father and mother had used this book and then I would have some answers to some questions, it's now too late to ask.
Buy this book and use it!!!!
