How many times have you thought about writing your memoir? Felt that pull to share your compelling story not just with friends and family, but with the world?

Don’t let more time slip away, your voice matters, and your story deserves to be heard.

This 10-week memoir writing workshop will guide you through the essentials of narrative, storytelling, and structure so you can put your life on the page with confidence and clarity.

Writing your memoir is more than learning craft, it’s a powerful act of self-reflection and healing. As you explore your memories and experiences, you’ll gain deeper insight into your life journey, uncover emotional patterns, and release stories that may have felt heavy to carry alone. Sharing in an empathetic and supportive space fosters connection and can even promote emotional resilience.

Join others in the courageous, exhilarating process of telling your story and leave not only with the tools to write your memoir, but with a renewed sense of self and purpose. Learn the literary elements of memoir writing and begin finding your voice to share your story.

Do I need to have writing experience to join the workshop?

Not at all. This series is designed for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced writers. Whether you’ve never put your story on paper or you’re already journaling or drafting, you’ll receive guidance on how to shape your narrative, build your confidence, and find your unique voice.

What are the benefits of writing a memoir in a group setting?

Writing your story in an empathetic, supportive group can be incredibly healing. Sharing experiences helps you feel seen and heard while connecting with others on their own journeys. Many participants find the process improves clarity and self-awareness, and creates a sense of empowerment.

You’ll leave with a strong foundation and a clear direction for your memoir, along with portions of your story already drafted. More importantly, you’ll gain the tools, structure, and confidence to continue writing on your own.
