Why are celebrities writing memoirs? What’s that about? What about books as a form of entertainment makes it appealing for these public figures to dabble in them?

Forget what you might have been told; you don’t have to be a celebrity to write a memoir. You do not need to be an actor/actress, athlete, TV personality, politician, or any other type of public figure to share your story and message in a book. 

Imagine a world without writing—no text messages, no emails, no letters, no books, no digital articles or newspapers—nothing written. Such a world would have a glaring gap in how we record history, preserve culture, and share stories.
