“I loved this book and I learned so much. I wish I’d had this before writing my memoir, but believe me, I’ll use it from here on.”

Maybe you’re writing a travel memoir book. Maybe you want to write a few stories from your incredible journeys. Either way, you’re in the right place. If you follow this step-by-step guide, you’ll write a story your audience will want to keep reading.
The first step is the opening: your invitation to the reader. I share two formulas for opening your story in an engaging and powerful way.
Next comes your quest. As soon as you introduce your want or desire, you’ve stated your quest. And once you do that, the reader will instantly want to know if you’ll achieve it.
Building scenes to suit your quest covers how to focus on the scenes, actions, and descriptions that tie to your quest.
Next you’ll learn how to weave backstory into your tale, and learn the kinds of backstory that are important to include.
We then come to the all-important ending. I have several formulas for you to consider, one of which will suit your story.
If you follow along, by the end of this book you’ll have written a compelling tale and have the tools to keep going. Let’s get started!
