A flexible, affordable program to nourish and support you on your memoir journey.
Writing a memoir is one of the most intense and gratifying experiences a person can go through. It can also be exceptionally difficult, especially if you’re a new writer, a trauma survivor, or are neurodiverse in an ADD, OCD or HSP way.
I know, because I’ve lived it. I am those things. I was stuck for decades trying to write my story. I couldn’t stay focused, I was obsessed with the wrong things, and I was afraid of what people would think of me. And I had literally no one to talk to about it.
I was on the brink of despair when I found a writing coach to support me. I worked with her for five years while managing a full-time career and two small children. I finished and published my memoir, and it was a transformational experience in SO many ways.
Because of that book, I started coaching other writers and helping them with their memoirs. I love doing it. But I’ve learned a couple of things:
- Writing a memoir takes time. It’s supposed to take time. It’s an opportunity for deep healing and introspection. You can’t and shouldn’t rush the process.
- Not everyone can afford the long-term support they need, such as a writing coach, or classes.
I’ve created the Write Your Memoir community specifically for those reasons.
This is how it works:
- You’ll get a weekly newsletter full of inspiration, advice, and resources.
- You’ll have access to a monthly memoir-writing workshop via Zoom. I teach for 30 minutes or so and leave time for discussion or Q & A. Each month will cover a different topic.
- You’ll enjoy a monthly open “office hours” with me directly – 15 minute check-ins, by appointment, for personal or private questions.
- I’ll offer a monthly “silent writing hour”. We meet over Zoom, I open with a brief guided meditation, and we write silently, together, for one hour.
- You’ll have access to the Write Your Memoir Facebook group for ongoing support and connection.
- Of course, your level of participation is completely up to you and your comfort level. Nothing is required.
- If you need further one-on-one support, you’re entitled to 50% off my regular coaching fees.
- I answer every email from you directly and promptly.
