To celebrate Family History Month, the Beaches Museum presents “How to Save Your History and Write Your Life Story,” by area ghostwriter, biographer and publisher Vic DiGenti. The Boardwalk Talk is at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Beaches Museum. “Everyone has a story to tell, but too often these stories and personal histories are lost unless someone preserves them with a biography or memoir,” DiGenti said.
Many people try to write their stories but find it too difficult or lack the time. A recent study concluded that 97% of people who start writing a book never complete it. In his talk, DiGenti will outline methods to simplify the writing process and provide tips for anyone interested in writing a biography or memoir. These include how and where to start, what to include and what to leave out. DiGenti is a member of the Association of Ghostwriters, and the author of 12 biographies and family histories. He’s also an award-winning novelist. Working as a ghostwriter and biographer, he’s penned biographies and family histories for many clients, including WW II veterans, jazz musicians, entrepreneurs and retired corporate executives. He has also edited and published books for other individuals through his imprint Windrusher Hall Press. The Oct. 24 Boardwalk Talk is open to the public, but you must register to attend.
