I always advise memoirists to do a complete proposal, and I personally have bought many memoirs on proposal---meaning that they weren't complete. So it's possible to sell memoir to agents and editors without having finished. However, I recommend finishing the full manuscript anyways!Brooke Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200164480347647688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385636046775727003.post-1519104262708864272011-05-31T09:16:56.092-07:002011-05-31T09:16:56.092-07:00Brooke, Writer's Relief, among others, say tha...Brooke, Writer's Relief, among others, say that memoir is the only non-fiction genre that should be handled like fiction--query letter, manuscript, chapter summaries, but no book proposal.
