Writing a Memoir That is More Than a Memoir

A Lunch and Learn Discussion with Nita Sweeney. 

Unable to attend? No worries.

Register anyway and receive the replay!

If you’ve been around the memoir scene for very long, you’ve no doubt heard “Memoirs don’t sell.” As with any myth, there’s more that’s false about that statement than true. A more accurate statement is “Some memoirs don’t sell.” But many do!

Join bestselling memoir author Nita Sweeney for this Lunch N Learn in which she will discuss how to improve the odds that your memoir will sell.

Nita’s first book, the running and mental health memoir, Depression Hates a Moving Target, not only sold to a publisher, but it won awards, made lists, and continues to sell four years after it was
published.

In this program, Nita will discuss:

  • Universal themes in memoir
  • Memoir as self-help
  • Memoir as how-to
  • Memoir as resource offering

Grab your lunch, a cup of coffee, and bring your best questions. Join us for a fun, interactive session.

Mindfulness coach Nita Sweeney is the bestselling wellness author of the award-winning running and mental health memoir, Depression Hates a Moving Target: How Running with My
Dog Brought Me Back from the Brink
, and co-creator of the writing journal, You Should Be Writing: A Journal of Inspiration & Instruction to Keep Your Pen Moving. Her third book, Make
Every Move a Meditation: Mindful Movement for Mental Health, Well-Being and Insight was featured in the Wall Street Journal. Her next book, A Daily Dose of Now: 365 Mindfulness
Meditation Practices for Living in the Moment, will be released in October. Nita lives in central Ohio with her husband, Ed, and their yellow Labrador retriever, Scarlet. Download your free
copy of Nita’s eBook Three Tools for a Happier, Healthier Mind or the infographic, Meditation Myths.
