Introducing Memories of Me: A Complete Guide to Telling and Sharing the Stories of Your Life
Introducing Memories of Me ~ A Complete Guide to Telling and Sharing the Stories of Your Life
That’s right, a new book for memory collectors will be released this May.
If you’re thinking to yourself, “Wow, that title sounds very similar to Laura’s book,” you get an A+. It is very similar.
In fact, it is the same. Just the title has been tweaked. Well, that and it’s getting an even better cover. The sudden influx of expertise comes courtesy of Cedar Fort, Inc., who will publish Memories of Me in May 2014 under its Plain Sight Publishing Imprint. Plain Sight publishes “lifestyle and life-enhancing non-fiction,” so I’m happy about that fit.
FAQs
Is this post just a piece of shameless promotion?
Well, yes. Sort of. I’m sorry.
Will all TreasureChestofMemories.com posts be shameless promotions from here on out?
No way! Though I may drop in an update or two in the coming months, the goal of this blog remains unchanged: to give helpful tips and resources about preserving and sharing memories. In fact, though it’s structured differently and more in depth, that’s pretty much the goal of Memories of Me: A Complete Guide to Telling and Sharing the Stories of Your Life.
What happened to the “Treasure Chest”?
Introducing Memories and Me doesn’t mean the treasure chest is going away.
It’s not gone. The imagery of creating a treasure chest of memories as well as references to my grandmother’s “Treasure Chest of Memories” will still be part of the book.
To be honest, it was hard to give up on my grandmother’s title. However, Cedar Fort’s marketing focus group felt like “Treasure Chest of Memories” sounded a bit old-fashioned and didn’t carry the connotation of modern memory-sharing platforms such as blogging and social media. I decided that the new title was best for the book. I’m pretty sure my grandma would be okay with that.

Congratulations. This sounds like a wonderful way to go. Good luck in your new venture!
Thanks Nikki. I appreciate the support.
Personally, I don’t think that “Treasure Chest of Memories” sounded old-fashioned at all. It is a book about memories and memories are from the past…so, even if it were old-fashioned, doesn’t that mean it fits right in?
I hope that all is going great with your book sales! I look forward to getting it myself. 🙂
Have a great night.
Thanks so much. When I was in discussions with the publisher over the title, I had a hard time discerning whether I was just emotionally attached to the title or not.
I’m so happy you’re getting the book. Thanks for commenting.
