What’s Inside Five Months to Memoir
-
Month One
Develop Your Story
In this first month, we discuss and develop your story, determining your message, confidence, and genre. By the end of the month, we create a rough outline for each book, guiding your writing journey over the next four months.
-
Month Two
Develop Your Plot
In this month, we focus in on the people, places, and action that create the whodunit of your book, determining what happens and how you should share about it, how to handle problematic characters (and people!), and discussing the ever important need for dialogue.
-
Month Three
Develop Your Narrative
We begin to establish the mechanics of your story, crafting your reflective voice, and determine the best choices around plot, polemic, poetics, and personal reflection, creating not just an engaging story but an inspiring and important message.
-
Month Four
Develop Your Structure
Wait? Structure? Shouldn’t we start there? Actually, no. We give everyone a few months to find their voice, figure out the action, determine the characters, and then begin to develop the best ways to organize and structure their story.
-
Month Five
Develop Your Strategy
In our last month, we go over the editing and querying process, helping writers determine the best plan, timeline, and strategy to get their books done and submitted to agents and publishers.
Are you tired of dreaming of being a writer but are now ready to become one? Do you wonder about self-publishing, indie-publishing, or even where to begin—let alone what kind of book you want to write? Do you have a lot of questions but aren’t sure where to find the answers?
Five Month to memoir is a fun and engaging deep dive for those who are ready to start THEIR path to publishing.
Because we have all been there. We have had the great idea, the the big dream of being a published author. It was my dream too once, but today, it’s a reality. I have written and edited multiple bestselling titles, I have co-authored over 20 published books, I have been published in multiple major publications. And I have created a career as a published writer and as a celebrated author.
Through a combination of craft talks, writing prompts, worksheets, and live Q+A’s, this deep dive into your creativity will get you started on your path to publishing, but more than that, it will show you how to fulfill your creative dreams.
We can't wait to help you get there!
