Excellent Helpful Tips

Helpful easy to follow tips. I took notes throughout. Rachael's tips are amazing and exactly what I needed to write a memoir.

needed this!

this is working for me.

I'm a little more ahead than most
of her advice but needed to hear it. Thanks Rachel!!

Thank you Rachael! You helped a girl in Oklahoma finally finish her memoir.

I had been writing a book about my experience exposing a serial predator for four solid years. I listened to Rachael’s book six months ago and completely started from scratch. I am excited to say that Wildfire: A Memoir by Karrah Youngblood (me) is out September 10th. If you’re stuck writing your book, this is the answer.

The Encouragement I Needed

I’m so glad I decided to give this book a listen before starting the daunting task of writing my memoir. The author gives helpful tips and exercises for those attempting this feat, and she lays to rest many of the doubts that plague first-time writers with humor and zest! She stays your constant cheerleader throughout the entire process.

Absolutely loved it

I was searching for info online about how to start writing my memoir. I came across a video with Rachael in it, and subsequently grabbed her book on Audible. It was exactly what I needed, and I finished it in the past 2 days. I know I’ll be referring to it more as I dive into the writing process. Thank you!!
