How Do I Write a Celebrity Memoir? - podcast

Literary agent Jeff Silberman gives tips on writing celebrity memoirs. He says that if you want to write a celebrity memoir, the first thing you need to do is become the kind of writer who gets noticed. You don’t have to be primarily a memoir writer. Even if you haven’t published a book, you can standout through magazine writing. But it’s rare to find a celebrity who wants to work with a writer who has never published something, so developing your skills and publication history as a writer is key. When you have a publication history, the celebrity can be sure you can produce all of the elements of a great celebrity memoir: good storytelling ability, a strong narrative voice, and the ability to elicit stories.
