We Love Memoirs Day

We Love Memoirs Day was created in 2013 by two memoir authors, Victoria Twead and Alan Parks. They also formed a Facebook group to connect admirers, readers, and authors of memoirs. A memoir is different from an autobiography in that an autobiography may cover an individual's whole life, but a memoir has a narrower focus and covers a significant moment in a person's life. Examples of memoirs that are seen as having great historical importance include Henry David Thoreau's Walden, and Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl.
