Considered to be creative nonfiction, a memoir is based on the author&#39;s truth. It is not the entire story of his or her life, however, but a snippet or portion that includes an underlying theme. Author and editor Sara Anne Fox shares some of her favorite memoirs and explains why these books appeal to her as a reader. To capture readers with your true story, Fox says there has to be a point, a distinct perspective or theme, and a lesson learned. Including these elements will allow readers to relate to the material in some way. She warns aspiring memoirists to avoid being self-indulgent in their writing and to avoid a journalistic approach. If you stick to just reporting the facts without creating an emotional connection, you will bore readers.
