Shimmering Images teaches the aspiring memoirist how to locate key memories using Lisa's technique for finding, linking, and fleshing out those vibrant recollections of important moments and situations. Shimmering Images will address: the difference between memoir and autobiography; how to claim your voice; the art of storytelling; honesty, truth, and compassion in writing; authentic dialogue and the need for specificity. Readers will learn how to craft a short piece of narrative nonfiction grounded in their core memories and master a technique they can use over and over again for writing other narratives.--From publisher description.
