Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Computer
- Your memoir book
Step1
Put your epilogue on the first page of the back matter. The epilogue consists of any further information you would like to add regarding your memoir. This page is also where you would write about any plans for future volumes. Place your website information in the epilogue.
Step2
Add an appendix. Place in these pages maps, charts and photographs. Label each item in the appendix. For example: Appendix A. Include each of these items in the Table of Contents.
Step3
Make a bibliography. A bibliography is a listing of all the reference materials you used while researching and writing your memoir. Use APA guidelines to format your bibliography. There are programs online that will create the correct format for you.
Step4
Organize an index. This is optional but your readers will appreciate it. You can manually create an Index or your word processor can create one for you.
Step5
Add a photo of yourself. The last page of back matter is often used for biographical information about the writer. Write a brief summary about yourself for this page.

on 12/17/2007 This was a wonderful guide. I guess if your life is too long and you have to cut from the book you could always write an additional book, called the outtakes of my life.
