From Memory to Memoir: Designing the Story Only You Can Tell
Every life contains countless stories. The challenge isn’t finding material—it’s discovering which story you’re truly meant to tell.
From Memory to Memoir is an eight-session intensive designed for writers who want to transform personal memories and lived experiences into the foundation of a compelling memoir. Through guided reflection, writing exercises, and narrative planning, participants will identify the central story, themes, emotional journey, and structure that will shape their project.
Rather than focusing on completing a manuscript, this course helps writers design a meaningful and cohesive blueprint that can guide the writing of a full-length memoir. By the end of the series, participants will have a clear memoir concept, a thematic focus, a narrative structure, and a roadmap for moving their project forward.
