Writing the Memoir: Fact, Fiction, and Domination
For those of us writing memoirs, the comments are all the same: the memoir market is flooded. Why?In a post I just wrote on my writing site, How to Write Like you Love it, I discuss the value of memoirs and why nonfiction in general is dominating the market. I use Wendy Steiner's 'The Real Real Thing,' which examines the evolving role of the model to discuss this and show why readers become outraged when memoirs are based more on fiction than fact.Please read it at…See More

I love your visits, thank you!

- Hi Marina. I loved your recent blog entry and left a message. In case you don't get it, I just wanted to let you know that I had similar discussions and reservations when raising my two daughters. There is a wonderful series - first book is "Dealing With Dragons" by Patricia Wrede who deals with a feisty, independent, bright princess that I think you and your daughter will love (we did!).
Also hope you come comment on my blog. I have been away for a while and mention that, along with the art of providing constructive criticism. I'd love your input!
All the best,
Meryl Jaffe

Thanks for your kind words at my blog! I'd love to talk more, but it'd be easier for me to go through email. Do you want to email me at danica@danicadavidson.com? Thanks!

- Dear Marina,
I went to your blog and loved it! I left you a message but it took a while to send and am not sure you got it so I am leaving it here as well. I look forward to visiting again and hearing from you (you'll see below)....
\GREAT post. I particularly liked the end as I SO AGREE that we must learn to deconstruct what visual and auditory images we are constantly bombarded with. I am an educational / school psychologist and I have a parenting blog with a similar agenda to yours - promoting kids' literacy and creativity. I would love a visit from you - look it over -maybe we could somehow collaborate!!! Also, I have just begun entering the world of graphic novels and education - using graphic novels to educate/sensitize kids to the visual messages around them.
Again, I'd love your comments too!
All the best and look forward to possible collaborations,
Meryl Jaffe, PhD

Give yourself LOTS of credit for that huge accomplishment -- and by staying in a positive frame of mind, a publisher will not be able to resist you and your work : ) I'll be looking forward to hearing that you've signed a contract. I can see it now! xo Julie
