What My Clients Say

 

I had 68,000 words... and no story.
"I was searching YouTube, joining groups, and going in circles. I needed one person to guide me through the process... You turned it into a story. After the editing, it was like reading it for the first time. I needed someone to make order out of the chaos. That’s what I needed."
— Mo Aarons, Memoir Workshop Student

 

Finally, feedback that is personal.
"In other courses I've done, there are mass Zoom meetings which don't address individual needs. Your way of working is very personal. You address any difficulties a person presents... It really opened up my style."
— Karel Fontaine, Memoir Workshop Student

 

Comments I couldn't work out for myself.
"Your comments were really lucid and exactly the stuff I couldn't work out for myself. The book summary I immediately posted on Facebook... it's famously difficult to write a synopsis of your own book, [but yours was fantastic]."
— Christian Austin, Memoir Workshop Student

⭐ The Memoir Method: A Clear, Guided Path From Blank Page to Finished Story

Most memoir writers get stuck because they don’t know where to begin or how to shape the life they’ve lived into a narrative readers can’t put down.

Inside this program, you’ll follow a proven, step-by-step system that shows you exactly what to write, how to write it, and how to build a memoir with real emotional impact.

You’ll get:

  • đŸŽ„ Engaging, easy-to-follow video lessons that demystify memoir writing

  • ✍ Practical exercises that help you write in a clear, precise, direct style that readers enjoy

  • 🧠 Story prompts designed to unlock details you didn’t even know you remembered

  • đŸ§© A structure template to organize your chapters and develop a theme and a focus

This is the roadmap people search for for years — finally in one place.

⭐ You are not alone in this.
Most online courses give you a login and say "Good Luck." I give you my calendar. 

You’ll receive:

  • đŸ‘€ Two private one-on-one coaching sessions tailored to your story

  • 📝 Personalized writing feedback that identifies exactly what you’re doing well — and what needs strengthening

  • 🎯 Targeted guidance based on your themes, structure, and goals

  • 💬 Direct email access. Stuck on a chapter on Tuesday night? Email me. I support my students personally.

You get a professional eye on your work.
You get clarity on what matters.
You get momentum — the thing most memoir writers never achieve on their own.

👉 This is where most students say the transformation really begins.

⭐ A Complete Professional Editing Package — Included in Your Enrollment

Most writing courses stop at teaching.
This one takes you all the way to a polished manuscript.

When your draft is ready, you’ll receive:

✔ A Full Developmental Review (Value: $2,000)

A deep, structural analysis of your entire manuscript. You’ll understand:

  • what needs strengthening

  • where your pacing drags

  • how to enhance characterization and dialogue

  • how to increase tension

  • how to clarify your theme or transformation

✔ A Full Professional Copyedit (Value: $1,500)

Line-by-line improvements to:

  • grammar  /  punctuation  /  rhythm  /  clarity

    This is the level of editing most writers only get once they sign with a publisher.

✔ A Professional Book Summary (Value: $200)

Most people struggle for months trying to summarize their own book. You’ll have it done for you — professionally. It's perfect for:

  • query letters

  • book proposals

  • pitching agents

  • marketing campaigns

👉 This editing package alone is worth more than the cost of the entire program.

Bonuses Included

To support your growth as a writer even further, you’ll also receive two powerful skill-building online courses:

🎁 Bonus #1: The Punctuation Mastery Course

Learn the punctuation tools that bring clarity, precision, and flow to your writing — the subtle skills that separate amateur from professional prose.

🎁 Bonus #2: The Ultimate Guide to Proofreading

Develop the eye of a professional proofreader so you can spot — and fix — any error in your manuscript.

These bonuses help you become a stronger writer for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an experienced writer?
No — many students begin with raw memories.

How long will it take to write my memoir?
Most students work steadily over several months. You control the pace.

What if my story is complicated or painful?
You set the boundaries. I help you shape the material you choose to include.

How do the coaching calls work?
You book them at your convenience. They’re private, personalised, and focused solely on your writing.

Will I get real edits?
Yes. You get a full developmental review and a full copyedit — for your entire manuscript. 

I'm not very tech-savvy. Is this hard to use?
Not at all. The course is set up simply in PowerPoint style and is very easy to follow at your own pace.

I haven't started writing yet. Is this for me?
Yes! It is actually better to start with the workshop so you don't waste time writing 'chaos'. We will structure your story correctly from Day 1.

When do I have to finish?
You have lifetime access. If you want to finish in 2026, great. If life gets in the way and you finish later, I'll still be here.

One Final Thought Before You Decide...

Next year is going to pass whether you write your book or not.

You can spend it wishing you had started, or you can spend it holding your finished manuscript.

I am ready to read your story.

The question is: are you ready to write it?
