What IS National Memoir Writing Month, Exactly!?

National Memoir Writing Month, observed each November, is a time dedicated to encouraging people to write and reflect on their personal stories. It’s similar to National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) but focuses specifically on the nonfiction genre of memoirs and autobiographies, which capture YOUR real-life experiences and insights.

The month serves as a prompt for aspiring memoirists to begin, continue, or finish writing their autobiographies/memoirs by offering motivation and community support.

During this month, various writing challenges, workshops, and online events are organized to help writers develop their skills and find the right structure for telling their life stories. Memoir writing often involves themes like personal growth, resilience, family history, or significant life events, and National Memoir Writing Month provides a platform for people to transform those experiences into a written legacy.

Participants can use the month to reflect on their past, explore meaningful memories, and create work that resonates with others. It’s an opportunity to share personal journeys that may inspire or connect with readers on a deeper, human level.

The National Association of Memoir Writers is a great place to begin.

And a great way to publish your memoir when it is finished (and save $1000 in the process) is with the One-Click Publishing & Marketing Suite for Memoirs from Outskirts Press, which includes up to 40 of your full-color photographs inserted and formatted into your book during production.

Just use the promo code ntlmemoir when adding the publishing package to your cart.

Top Secret Hint: All this month, this code will save you $1000 on the One-Click Non-Fiction package, too, which is in black & white if you don’t need full-color publishing.
