Sometimes the most compelling story you can tell is your own, and there's no better way to get your story out there than to put it out yourself! A compelling personal story calls for a memoir.

- Building a platform that supports your book (without living on social media)
- The best first book structure
- How to revise strategically
- The traditional agent path and Big Five publishers vs. small presses and other alternatives
- How to protect your rights (audio, film/TV, etc,) and negotiate from an empowered position
- Live Q&A
