Write The Story Of Your Life by Ruth Kanin

"Everyone in the world, without exception has (a) a mother, (b) a book inside them. A choice  few have written their book already. Others have only he catchy title which they reveal at cocktail parties. The majority has their story rolling around inside them like kidney stones (prolonging the painful birth).

Ruth Kanin is more than just a midwife coaxing the book out of an author. She is a catalyst, psychiatrist, teacher, critic, and social worker. She has set down this book in superb form, from "Confidence" to "manuscript." Acknowledging that autobiographies are the fastest selling books today, she may have written the only book a budding author will ever need to read before sitting down at the typewriter.

One word of caution: Ruth Kanin's book is for the writer who is serious and has the patience to take it one step at a time. There are no shortcuts whether you are St. Augustine or Phill Donahue. At last, I have an answer to the several hundred people who write every month wanting to know how they can put the story of their lives in book for: Ruth Kanin." --Erma Bombeck
