What Is a Hybrid Memoir?
So, we’ve said, a hybrid memoir combines the emotional power of personal narrative with the practical guidance of self-help.

Their transformation (the result) — readers see themselves in your story AND walk away with actionable guidance.

Do you think we live in a culture with completion instead of being beautifully unfinished?
