Memoirs
transform real life into the shape of a story. In
this talk, Jerry Waxler will show you the steps
to transform your own experience into a story worth
reading. You’ll learn simple techniques to help
you build the framework. From there, you will apply
story principles like dramatic tension and character
arc to help you craft your own memoir.
