Your Life Is a Book by memoirist Brenda Peterson and literary agent Sarah Jane Freymann is a practical and inspiring guide. We offer storytelling insights and writing prompts on finding your voice, self-discovery, and the publishing process. Oprah.com chose Your Life Is a Book as “self-help advice that works,” and “the process of writing about your past can lead to a boost in self-acceptance, self-awareness, and fulfillment.” Memoir is like a love story, with all the ecstasies, disappointments, and turning points of any relationship. It is a pilgrimage to come home to your life story.
