I'm writing a memoir that will cover up to age 22. I'm not much older now, but if I were to stop and come back to this project in the future, I would still focus on the same period of time (up to age 22 when there was a significant medical event in my life).
Is there an advantage to me finishing the memoir and shopping it as soon as possible? Or does my age in relation to the ages I'm writing about make no difference, and it simply depends on how good the story/writing is? (in the latter case, perhaps waiting and allowing my insights to mature would help the writing).
Would say a 24 year old writer get more attention than a 30 year old? Or would the older writer get more interest because his peer demographic tends to buy more books anyway?
