Tools you can use on your memoir journey...
Step 1.
Check Your Work!
Here is a suggested app that some of our members have used. It allows you to check grammar, and helps with word choices. Don't take our word for it though, please suggest the tools you use to keep your copy in good shape!
Compiling a Photo Book
Compiling a Video
When looking to tell your story via video, there are multiple avenues to take. Do you want short clips on your iPhone? Do you want a professionally curated, interviewed, documentary style video to give to your family? Do you want your audio overtop of pictures you compile? Knowing how you see your finished project will help you find out who needs to help you do it... but here are some good places to start! Again, just like "Reading Rainbow" don't take our word for it...
YOUTUBE
A great way to start a video blog and share with your friends & family.
Compiling Content
Creating a ME.Com Website
Step 1. Click above & search for your custom domain (A Domain is your website address... www.YourName.com for example.)
Step 2. Forward your new custom domain to your current website that talks about your memoir. Is it a blog, your video blog, even your Facebook if you want! This is how people will find YOUR STORY... however you choose to tell it.
Step 3. You don't have any of the above and don't know what I'm talking about. You need a website builder & mentor, talk to Jenn
Once you've published-- Look here if you need help getting it discovered by the public! Some memoirs aren't meant to be kept secret!
Art Tells A Story
Print your artwork on canvas and display it! Your creations speak volumes about you-- if you're looking to tell your tale, but can't find the words-- Grab the paintbrush!

Creating a Blog
Step 1. Domain
Step 2. Blog
There are some awesome free or inexpensive tools available.
FacetHub (Where we recommend buying all domains and hosting, as seen above) offers a website builder for personal use that offers a blog with easy to use templates.
There are also blog specific companies that you can use, and then point your domain to the free link they provide you. (So that when you tell people to read your blog, you can say something like, "Visit me at MyName.com" instead of "myname.weebly.com/page1_Charlevoix")
Do you use a specifc tool or app that helps you dramatically in your memoir writing process? Please share it with us!
