Writing Up Your Experiences as a Memento for Your Grandchildren

If (like me) you don’t get to see your grandchildren very often because they live far away, you might want to set down your experiences as a memento for them in the shape of a self published book: who you are, what you are, and why you are who you are and what you are. I’ve got this on my list of things to do with a notional title of Grandpa’s Story.

Here are two helpful tips should this approach appeal to you.

1. Use your trusty online detective www.google.com – type in as a keyword phrase ‘writing my life story’ – and watch what happens. You will be directed to thousands of creditable sources for professional advice on blocking, constructing and writing up your material. Alternatively, refer to Writing Your Life Story by Michael Oke (How To Books).

2. Purchase a copy of Publishing Books Using Your PC by Peter Domanski & Philip Irvine. You won’t find this invaluable tome at your local bookstore. Instead, send a cheque or postal order for £12.99 to Domanski-Irvine Book Company, Coldwell Farm, Stretfordbury, Leominister, Herefordshire HR6 0QL – or email them at info@dibookco.u-net.com
