One of the biggest surprises for new authors?

Many believe that once they sign with a publisher or literary agent, someone else will handle the marketing.

The reality is that your book deserves a marketing plan from day one.

Planning ahead gives you the opportunity to:
✨ Build awareness before your launch
✨ Connect with your ideal readers
✨ Create momentum that lasts beyond publication

The earlier you begin, the more prepared you'll be when your book is ready for the world.

One of the biggest questions writers ask is:

“How do I fit my entire life into a book?”

The answer is, you don’t.

A memoir isn’t a timeline of everything that has happened to you. It’s about identifying the experiences, relationships, moments, and turning points that create a meaningful story.

The challenge is knowing what to include, what to leave out, and what story you are really trying to tell.

That’s where the writing begins.

Join Jennifer S. Wilkov for Your Story Is Waiting: How to Begin Turning Memories Into Memoir and start looking at your memories through the lens of a memoirist.

Getting published is exciting, but choosing how to publish your book is a big strategic decision.

Before you start sending your manuscript everywhere, take a step back and ask:

✨ What do I want my book to accomplish?
✨ Who do I want to reach?
✨ What does success look like for me?
✨ What publishing path supports those goals?

That’s why planning matters.

Jennifer’s Your Book Is Your Hook! approach starts with understanding your project, your goals, and your possibilities so you can make informed decisions about your publishing journey.

Don’t start with “Who will publish my book?”

Start with “What do I want my book to do?”

You don’t need to write your entire life story to write a memoir.
And you don’t need to know exactly how the book will end before you begin.
You do need a starting point.

During Your Story Is Waiting: How to Begin Turning Memories Into Memoir, Jennifer S. Wilkov will guide writers through the questions that can help uncover the story inside their experiences.

You’ll explore:

✨ The difference between memories and memoir
✨ How to identify a central story within a lifetime of experiences
✨ Which experiences, themes, and turning points may belong in your memoir
✨ Why your chronological beginning may not be your narrative beginning
✨ How voice, structure, and perspective shape meaningful narrative
✨ What next step you can take after the webinar

This is an opportunity to stop wondering “Where do I even begin?” and start seeing the possibilities within your own story.

📅 September 1, 2026
⏰ 6–7 PM EDT

Your memories are the beginning. Your memoir is the story you’re ready to tell.

Monday Marketing Tip!

Writing the book is only half the journey. Making it easy to find is the other half.

✨ Ask yourself: Where are my readers looking for books like mine?

The right placement can help your book reach more readers, create more opportunities, and increase sales.

Make your book easy to discover, and even easier to buy.

Writing your query letter is only half the job. Sending it the right way matters just as much.

One small mistake can lead to a lost draft, formatting issues, or a submission that never reaches the right inbox.

Before you hit Send, make sure you:
📄 Draft in a Word document with AutoSave enabled.
📧 Send yourself a test email to check the formatting.
✅ Add the recipient's email address last.
📝 Keep a record of every submission so you always know what was sent and when.

A little preparation can save you hours of frustration and help you submit with confidence.

Need help perfecting your query letter? Jennifer's Query Letter Clinic and Office Hours are designed to help you create stronger submissions and move your book closer to publication.

There are stories we tell at dinner.
Stories we tell our closest friends.
Stories we tell ourselves.

And then there are the stories we know are still waiting to be told.

Maybe it’s the experience you’ve revisited for years.
Maybe it’s the moment that changed the direction of your life.
Maybe it’s something you’ve never been quite ready to put into words.

Writing a memoir begins with more than remembering.
It begins with recognizing why this story matters and understanding how to shape it with intention.

Jennifer S. Wilkov’s upcoming webinar, Your Story Is Waiting: How to Begin Turning Memories Into Memoir, is designed to help writers take that first meaningful step.

You don’t need to have the whole book figured out.
You need to know where to begin.
