‘Write what you know’ is the oldest piece of advice in the book.

Most of us have lived through fascinating times, and writing about these can have mass appeal, as authors from Elizabeth Gilbert to David Sedaris show.

But memoir can be dangerous territory for writers, blurring the line between our private and public selves so much that we forget our audience. How can you ensure that your memoir is a page-turner rather than a therapy session?

This live webinar* will include:

- finding a topic: what’s a focus with audience appeal?

- action-memoir: how doing stuff now can help you to illuminate the past

- the mission-memoir

- taking your cues from fiction

- what to leave out: telling most of the truth, most of the time

- your supporting cast: protecting you real-life characters

Most bloggers will at some point feel that their craft could be better termed ‘slogging’.

We pour out our hearts; we craft witty sentences; we make acerbic observations. And then: nothing. Not a single response. What does it take to get people to read the *%?£!$ thing?

This live webinar* will look at a range of strategies for drawing readers to your blog, including:

- What can I realistically expect in terms of readership, responses and timescales?

- How can I tweak my content and appearance to make my blog more readable?

- How can I use social media effectively?

- How do I find people like me – and people who will like me?

This webinar will be focused on getting you to evaluate your own blog, and you will be able to ask questions.
