About the Book

If it's unlikely that an airport will be named in your honor, or that your statue will stand in the town square, your life stories are your legacy. Don't fade into obscurity, just a name on a genealogy chart, one of history's mysteries. Celebrate your life, and invite others to, through your stories.For more than a quarter-century, Carol Purroy has inspired and helped people of all ages to get their life stories written and into print. Your Life Your Legacy grew out of her experience teaching memoir writing classes at colleges, senior centers, churches, et cetera.Your Life Your Legacy is not only a "How-to", it is also a "Why-to". Useful to writers at all levels, it is especially helpful to those who don't yet think of themselves as writers but want to create a lasting record of their lives.Your Life Your Legacy offers inspiration and encouragement, plus the nuts-and-bolts of writing. You'll learn how to get started and keep going all the way to the end, in addition to learning the tricks of writing stories people won't want to put down.Your Life Your Legacy is the perfect gift for a parent, grandparent or friend who might need a push to get started ... or finished ... writing the stories of his or her life, or for yourself. It's a must for memoir-writing classes and groups, an invaluable aid to teachers and group leaders, indispensable to the individual memoir writer.Your Life Your Legacy was written for ordinary people, not professional writers. There are lots of how-to-write books for them. This one is for those who are probably not interested in publishing novels or screenplays (although some of her students have gone on to do just that). Its style is casual and conversational -- easy to read and follow.
About the Author: Carol Purroy has taught writing -- memoir, creative, and ethical wills -- at colleges, church groups, senior centers, etc., since 1991, inspiring and helping hundreds of people of all ages to write their life stories. She was editor and publisher of senior magazines - both print and eZines. The National Association of Professional Women named her Woman of the Year in Publishing (2010), and she's listed in the National Registry of Who's Who. She produced and hosted TV shows, among them: Author! Author! and Living Treasures. She founded Writers of the Purple Sage Publishing Consortium and Nevada Storytellers Network, through which she co-produced a storytelling festival. She does public speaking and leads seminars and retreats. She's traveled the world and lived abroad, and, throughout the years, enjoyed diverse careers. A mom and grandma, she enjoys bicycle-built-for-twoing, cooking, knitting, volunteering, writing, teaching/mentoring, and gardening. She lives in Reno, Nevada.
