A new review of Give the Gift of Story Guide Book
Lynn, what a wonderful GIFT you're giving writers! I loved your book, and your class on Sunday, Nov 1st will be terrific!
Lynn Cook Henriksen's Give the Gift of Story: TellTale Souls' Essential Guide to Tap Memory & Write Memoir in Five Acts provides a fresh approach to crafting engaging memoirs about significant people in our lives. Writers of any caliber will find this gem of a book useful.
Practical advice abounds as Henriksen shows you how to "Think and plan before you write," when to employ literary devices, and innovative scene-building techniques. Then she goes deeper with the clarity that not all memories are smooth sailing, "When we stir memories, we will find some lumps . . . let's examine them . . . as we continue on our journeys."
Enticing story examples and a helpful glossary make Give the Gift of Story the perfect memoir-writing kit.
