What, exactly, is a memoir? Is it simply a great story? Or is it a style of writing that addresses a larger theme? Yes. In this practical interview with Mickey Maudlin, Senior VP and Executive Editor at HarperCollins, he distinquishes between memoir as a genre and memoir as a writing style. He also helps aspiring writers ask a basic question, "Why would someone buy my memoir?" A few authors might be able to engage readers by telling a good story, but most will need to have something to say over and above their experience.

In this interview with HarperOne senior vice president Mickey Maudlin, he discusses the importance of your book "pitch" - and making sure you answer the question, "Why should I as a reader pay $19.95 for this book?"
