What is memoir? How to write a literary memoir

What is memoir? If you want to write a publication-standard literary memoir, understanding what the publishing category means is crucial. So today, I'm sharing what I learnt from literary agents and publishers about literary memoir and why memoir sells to publishers when you're not famous.

Well said. Well done.

Oh my goodness, thank you for explaining all of this. I'm editing my memoir and discovering nuances in the story and loving the process but I thought I was working towards turning it over to an editor because I couldn't possibly see the story as a reader would. But you're saying what I feel, that nobody can bring out the depth better than the person who lived it.
