The Memoirist’s Guide to UntitledTown

April 15, 2019

So You Want to Finally Write Your Memoir? You’ve Come to the Right Place!

by Grant Cousineau

You don’t need to be a famous athlete or the Dalai Lama to be worthy of a memoir. Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love and Tara Westover’s Educated are printed proof that the most interesting stories can happen to everyday people.

If you’re ready to share your story, UntitledTown has more than a few opportunities to move you from the “idea phase” to “Page 1.”
