What is a Memoir? by Shmoop

A memoir is a book of memories that is a non-fiction literary work. It differs from a journal because in a memoir the writer is the main character and it is a reflection over the years with collective experiences having an overarching theme. In a journal, this happens day by day and only reflects the themes of the day. Maybe you should write one. But wait a few years. You have a whole life to live with many more stories and experiences.
