Overview

Your life matters, it means something; you have a story to tell. It’s time to bring it to the page. 

Have you always wanted to write about your life, but you don’t know where to start? Are you longing to find the time to uncover and share your family story?

We can help. 

Our Memories to Memoir course is perfect for those looking to start documenting their life through written stories. 

In this introduction course:

• We talk through you through what a memoir is and isn’t. 

• We explore how you can uncover material from your life to write about and we’ll arm you with tools to allow you to start documenting your life, so you never miss out on another story. 

• Each week there will be a short homework task, to help you build momentum. 

By the end of the course:

• You’ll have a clear idea of your memoir concept and theme, ensuring it is engaging and full of passion. 

• You’ll have started over four mini-stories/ memory snippets that you can start to expand. 

• You’ll have a clear understanding of the mindset and writing routine needed to get your memoir out of your head and onto the page. 

Whether you’re hoping to get your memoir published or pass it on to family as part of your legacy or if you’re writing just for fun – this course will help you feel motivated and excited to start writing. 

What’s more:

• We will provide feedback on up to 800 words of your work. Helping you see your writing strengths and giving you ideas to help take your work further. 

• You’ll have unlimited email support throughout the course, should you have questions or need help. 

• After completing the course you’ll gain access to a private storyteller’s Facebook group, exclusively for our course alumni. The group is bursting with regular ideas, prompts, tips and a supportive community full of like-minded people to help you on your writing journey.
