Why You Should Publish Your Memoir

With the advent of Print-On-Demand (POD) publishing, memoirs are no longer solely the prerogative of the rich and famous.  Today, with modern technology anyone can publish a memoir, distribute paperback or hard cover versions to their family and friends,  post their book on Amazon and BarnesandNoble.com, and have any orders printed and fulfilled as they come in, for less than a thousand dollars. 

There are a variety of reason why you should consider publishing a memoir.

• You may want to publish a story  to leave a record, or legacy, for your children and grandchildren.  Many memoirs are motivated by questions asked by children and grandchildren.

• For some, writing a memoir is therapy allowing the author to get it out of their system and to make some sense of their lives.  By giving it to the world by publishing it, perhaps others will benefit from what they you have learned

• Sometimes children want to write down the stories told to them by their parents and grandparents.

• You may want to publish a memoir or autobiography because you have a dramatic and compelling story to tell the world.  Should your story and its lessons die with you?
