No writing skills needed
It's a simple way to write a memoir. You don't have to order any books up front and you don't have to be a writer or have writing skills. All you have to do is to collect your favourite photos and tell the story behind them - just as if you were showing your friends or family a photograph and telling them about it.
We like to say that Photomemoirs is more than a photo album but less than an autobiography. Think of it like as an "expanded" photo album with more stories about each picture and not just a caption. Photomemoirs.co is a real book but much easier to write and structure than a traditional autobiography.
For inspiration have a look inside the first published Photomemoirs book which is called "Copenhagen to Ipoh" It tells the story of 2 years spent in Malaysia in the 1950 by a Danish girl who became a British Army wife.
