In thirteen sessions over six months (including an orientation), you’ll be filled with information about process and craft, as well as given the support you’ve been craving as you delve into your life story, your memories, and the essence of who you are and what you have to say. That is the power of self-healing through speaking-and writing-your truth. We want to hear your story, and we can guarantee that you’ll come out the other side feeling more empowered, more energetic, and more alive than you have in years. Maybe you’re even wondering who cares-the worst and most debilitating message of our inner critic. It’s time for it to be out in the open, but you wrestle with all the reasons why you shouldn’t, why you should wait, who will be hurt if you tell, whether you can do the story justice.

You can’t keep your story inside any longer. Even if you’re considering an adventure story of all the wild times you had, you might still be plagued by voices that tell you, “Why bother with that? You have better things to do.” Writing your memoir can help you heal Depending on the intimacy of your story, it’s probable that your saboteurs are stalking you, telling you all the reasons it’s a horrible idea to share your story with the world. You think it has potential to sell big, too. Your friends are always saying, “Wow, you need to put that into a book.” You know your life story is unique. Maybe you have had life experiences unlike anyone you know. It wants you to return to it, and you long to return to it, too. A book project like this is a little like a lost lover. Sometimes you think about it every day, sometimes once a month. You know you want to finish it someday you must finish it before you die. You have a passion project you’ve been working on for years. We know what it takes to complete a memoir, and we understand that it’s often painful and challenging. Each of us has guided hundreds of memoirists through the completion of their manuscripts, and shepherded many more through to publication of their books. If you believe that memoir is as powerful and magical as we do, then we are the mentors for you. It’s so gratifying to offer your personal truth to others. It’s magical to tell your story-to bring to life something that’s lived inside you. Brooke Warner and Linda Joy Myers are experienced memoir teachers and passionate believers in the magic of memoir. Write Your Memoir in Six Months offers the support, encouragement, and accountability you’re looking for to write the book that’s in your heart.
