Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes: and for a brief moment, share in their joy and feel their pain. This is the power that great memoirs have over us.

But if you can’t stomach yet another celebrity tell-all, then you might be ready for fresh blood! Let the reviewers at Reedsy Discovery introduce you to the hottest new memoir authors before they hit the bookstores. Looking to walk down memory lane with a nostalgic autobiography? Or maybe you’d prefer stories about sporting triumphs or business setbacks, instead?

Don’t just rely on big newspapers to recommend your next book. Follow your favorite reviewer and the next time they read a memoir they love, you’ll be the first to know.
