Abstract

Dear Writer,
How many times have you said -
I have a great story to tell, but I don't know where to start.
I know the story of my life would be a best-seller.
I wish I could leave my life story for my family to read.

I have heard it so many times. And I've given answers on countless
occasions. But the questions seem to be coming more frequently than
ever. It must be the age of the memoirwhen people feel that they have a
great life story to tell and want to get it in the hands of readers.

Well, guess what? It is a great time to write your memoir. Just look at
the best seller list. Look at the authors appearing at your local
bookstore. But actually, it's always a good time. You just have to make
the commitment.
But suppose you are ready to make the commitment. Or you may have
already begun. So then what?

A UNIQUE RESOURCE ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE

Frankly, the more questions I got about how to write a memoir, the more
I became convinced that it was just very difficult to find an
all-in-one solution. I couldn't refer anybody to a particular resource.
And I couldn't spend all of my time giving out advice on memoir
writing.
So I decided to produce a guide. And I thought I had a pretty good idea
of what writers need. After all, I
* Have published a half-dozen books and dozens of articles myself
* Directed the graduate writing program at Brown University where I
taught English for 17 years
* Started a publishing company that has produced more than 80 titles
and pioneered a unique joint venture program

YOUR EXPERT MENTOR: SIDNEY OFFIT

But memoir writing isn't my specialty. I still needed an
expert. Silly me! I had published an expert already. And he's a good
friend. But he's so busy, I couldn't believe that he would agree to
help. After all, he's finishing a new memoir as you read this. Plus he
teaches writing courses at the New School University in New York City
and Marymount Manhattan College...is curator of the George Polk
Journalism Awardspresides over the Authors Guild Foundationand more.
Yet, when I shared my idea with writer Sidney Offit, he was immediately
agreeable!
And so we produced this special downloadable Info Pak: Sidney Offit's
Memoir Writing Secrets

A JAM-PACKED AUDIO INTERVIEW

In this jam-packed-with-information interview with me , Sidney Offit
gives you all the tips and techniques you need to produce a successful
memoirwhether you want to publish it commercially, privately, or as a
limited edition. The five chapters give you a one-stop resource,
covering these topics and more:
* The difference between the autobiography and the memoir
* How to promote dramatic tension
* Three keys for sustaining reader interest
* What personal details to delete
* Why you should avoid the passive voice
* Sure-fire strategies for handling dialogue
* How to distinguish telling from showing
* The two hottest markets for today's memoir
* New publishing options

By the time you finish listening for the first time, you'll be
well-informed and inspired. You'll be itching to begin writing or to
finish writing your memoir.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHERSIDNEY OFFIT

After all, you'll be led by a man who's been doing it successfully for
more than 50 years. Sidney Offit has been a prolific writer, editor,
commentator and teacher.

He was senior editor of Intellectual Digest, book editor of Politics
Today, and contributing editor of Baseball Magazine.

He's the author of two novels and 10 children's books. Offit has taught
at New York University, The New School for Social Research, and
Marymount Manhattan College.
I reprinted Offit's Memoir of the Bookie's Son, first published by St.
Martin's Press in 1995 as the first in our Beckham Classic Reprint
series.

PRAISE FOR OFFIT'S MEMOIR

In fact, his Memoir of the Bookie's Son has been considered a classic
by both critics and writers:

Memoir of the Bookie's Son is a rare book, a short, modest and
affecting memoir that moved me deeply. One that I won't soon forget.

Robert Ward, Los Angeles Times

Poignant, touching and painfully honest, a memoir beautifully evocative
of the tangled bonds between a father and a son.

Robert A. Caro, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for biography, 1975

Every word rings true. It has the ring of authenticity that makes you
want to read more and more. There is also a lovely fragility one gets
from certain Chinese paintings, in which figures emerge from the mist
and time stands still.

Thomas Fleming, author of Liberty, Duel and other works of history and
fiction

Sidney Offit's book is a touching, clear-eyed and deeply moving
exploration of that central theme of Freud's, family romance, the
father-son relationship from the point of view of a child, boy and a
grown man. Deceptively simple, it is in fact a work of literature.

Michael Korda, author of Charmed Lives and Man to Man

No wonder I chose Sidney Offit to help create this downloadable Memoir
Writing Info Pak.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
