1.		Thinking About Memoir (AARP) from Sterling Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Although a small book it is more thoughtful and deeper than the recent Natalie Goldberg tome. Thomas is a completely honest writer, very affirming for those of us who aspire to this style. When she gives the instructions at the end of each chapter it is clear that they are ideas and not the main... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Telling True Stories: A Nonfiction Writers' Guide from the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University from Plume Price: $10.20 Customer Review: memoir, I recommend That's How the Light Gets In: Memoir of a Psychiatrist by Susan Rako, M.D. The title comes from a song by Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack, a crack in everything.

5.		Inventing the Truth: The Art and Craft of Memoir from Mariner Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review: As a personal and corporate biographer, I hear many different life stories and have learned that no one approach or format fits all.

7.		Perfect Phrases for Writing Grant Proposals (Perfect Phrases) from McGraw-Hill Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I recently took a job where one of my focuses is to seek out and write grants.

11.		Writing the Memoir: From Truth to Art, Second Edit from The Eighth Mountain Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: During the past year, I've read half a dozen books similar to, but not as worthwhile as this one. Judith Barrington is a fine poet, and the poetry of her thoughts and language, both, strike something much deeper than a 'how to' on the subject of memoir. If you are a writer looking for a guide in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Writing for Story: Craft Secrets of Dramatic Nonfiction from Plume Price: $10.20 Customer Review: This beyond a doubt the best book on the basic structure of Story available. I deeply sympathize with those who did not like it, structuring is by far the hardest part of writing.

18.		Writing to Win: The Legal Writer from Main Street Books Price: $10.85 Customer Review: I have heard Writing to Win has been used in Advanced Legal Writing classes, which seems to be its best niche - law school upper level student or young lawyer or equivalent. (I read it on my own, outside a classroom setting.) The book should help polish one's writing style. It is not a basic writing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Drawing From Life: The Journal as Art from Princeton Architectural Press Price: $16.50 Customer Review: I love this book, and it repeatedly finds its way into my bag to be taken out and thumbed through on the bus, on vacation, at work during breaks or while I am on the couch during those rare few minutes of "me-time". It takes the idea of "journal" and makes it multi-faceted. You see the artistic side... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Your Life as Story from Tarcher Price: $10.85 Customer Review: This is THE book for anyone struggling with the structure of a memoir. I've been working on mine for three years.
