Leave Your Story Behind
There are many reasons to want to write a biography or a memoir. Unless you already have a significant public profile, the story will not make money, so money isn’t one of them. Telling your story is really a matter of putting your house in order, and this can be done at any age. It is a gift to relatives and friends, who may be interested, and it is particularly a gift to yourself.
