I am interested in finding more online resources for memoir writing. Any ideas?

What kind of resources? Examples of memoirs? Advice on structure? Applications that will help you organize your memoir? Blogs where people talk about their memoirs or publish them in a blog, perhaps? – Neil Fein♦ Dec 6 '10 at 21:04
No, first time on site. I'm looking for a site where perhaps there are prompts given and people that write a memoir. Is that realistic? I used to be on a site called memoir cafe which is now defunct. – user1943 May 9 '11 at 20:03
I am interested in a variety of resources related to memoir writing. All of the ideas you listed could be useful. I am more interested in the blogs focused on helping a person write, structure, revise, and publish a memoir. – gangleclums Jul 9 '11 at 4:18

I took the liberty of bing'ing "How to write a memoir" and read through some of the better links (I skipped the ehow.com stuff).

This article by William Zinsser was my favorite. It's not a blog, but has what looks like some good tips.

I also liked this one - specifically for the tips on the second page.

Disclaimer: I haven't written my memoir, and don't know if I ever will. Someone who's done this sort of thing is likely to have much better advice. In the meantime, I hope you find these useful.
