Where to Start
Not sure where to start? The Write Your Life Story workshop inside Writing Academy is the place to begin. Lifetime access includes every course — and every lesson has a discussion area where I answer questions personally.
If you already know your story, the Write Your Life Story book walks you through every craft decision you will face, especially the hard ones around structure and emotional honesty that memoir writers wrestle with most.
Memoir benefits enormously from real feedback. Lifetime access to Writing Academy gives you personal access to me plus every craft and publishing course I have built. Your story deserves to be told well.
