While it's true that many people are writing memoirs these days, the key to publication is having a story worth telling--and often that comes down to how you frame it. Nobody cares about your whole life (sorry, but it's true). But if you can tie your experience to a larger cultural or geographic backdrop, it starts to get interesting. For example, racism is on a lot of people's minds today. If, say, overcoming rough childhood circumstances in an inner city got you where you are today, there's a story to tease from there that resonates with readers beyond it being YOUR life....that is, they can relate on some level. The angle you use to tell your story is often more important than the story itself.
