Praise for The Power of Memoir

"With a gentle spirit and a clear voice, Linda Joy Myers creates a safe place for writers. With her eight–step program, Myers guides writers through the dark places of the heart, to ultimately arrive at a place of power and grace."—Sue William Silverman, author, Fearless Confessions: A Writer′s Guide to Memoir and Because I Remember Terror, Father, I Remember You

"Myers makes a compelling case for the power of words as a form of healing and growth."—James W. Pennebaker, Ph.D., professor of psychology, University of Texas at Austin, and author, Opening Up and Writing To Heal

"A powerful and unique writing guide—one that will lead any writer straight to the heart of their richest material, help them heal, and then teach them how to shape it into literature. Destined to become a classic!"—Jordan E. Rosenfeld, contributing editor, Writer′s Digest magazine, and author, Make a Scene: Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time

"This material is found nowhere else."—Sharon Lippincott, M.A., author, The Heart and Craft of Story Writing

Myers experience of writing her own memoir has led her to teach and support many fledgling writers seeking to tell their own stories. Her training as a writer and a therapist have given her a unique set of skills that make her an ideal 'director' in guiding inexperienced writers who have a story to tell but don't know where or how to begin. Myers was instrumental in guiding me in successfully writing and publishing my story, WE WERE NOT ORPHANS. Responses from those who have read it made it clear that Myers direction and suggestions were key to the readability of my memoir.
I recommend Myers book enthusiastically for those who think they have a story to tell in a way that will be healing for them and their loved ones.
