Two-Minute Memoir focuses specifically on a personal story of growth.<\/p>\n
Typically told in first person, the selected essays should have a beginning, middle and end. Like most good essays, selected essays feature important internal change or revelation.<\/p>\n
As mentioned in the March\/April 2015 issue of Writer’s Digest magazine: “Write something unusual.”<\/p>\n
Not the usual: mental illness, grief, divorce, falling in love, etc . . . unless there is something “distinctive or unusual about the story to make it work.”<\/p>\n
