Travel Memoir Writers Urged to Drop the Itinerary
Original: Ditch the Itinerary in Your Travel Memoir
Publishing expert Jane Friedman is advising travel memoir writers to stop structuring their books like trip diaries. The argument is that a day-by-day itinerary makes for dull reading, and memoirs work better when organised around a personal arc, theme or transformation rather than a route map. The guidance is being shared widely among aspiring travel writers and memoirists looking to make their manuscripts more compelling to agents and readers.
Why now: Writers are actively looking for craft advice on turning travel experiences into publishable memoirs.
