How to Write a Book About Your Life Story: Where to Start | Natalee Bloom

Writing a book about your life can feel like something other people do, but Natalee Bloom, a ghostwriter for New York Times bestselling authors, says writer's block is a myth. If you can have an idea and get it out by typing, with a pen or in a voice note, she says you are already writing.

Natalee helped me write my second book. I asked her how to know when to start writing your book, whether to learn the craft or hire a ghostwriter, and what publishers now expect from you. She also explains why she calls it a lie that your story can't help someone.
