If you ever wanted to write a travel memoir or capture a few stories from your vacations, Boston College graduate Jillian Schedneck has written a guide book to help you accomplish your goal. Write Your Travel Memoir: A Step-by-Step Guide was released earlier this year and offers tips on how to begin and end your story as well as how to introduce your quest and weave in backstory. Schedneck graduated from BC with a bachelor’s degree in English in 2002. She holds a master of fine arts in creative writing from West Virginia University, where she taught Composition and Rhetoric courses to undergraduates. Her own memoir, Abu Dhabi Days, Dubai Nights, is based on her experiences living and teaching university students in the United Arab Emirates.
