Who is the Memoir Writing Course for?
This course is for new, emerging and advanced writers.
The course is very personalised, right from the beginning. You therefore write from the level you are currently at in your writing and your story.
With narrative explanations showing each element of story creation woven with how to write memoir, the course provides examples plus (specific) exercises for each step. It therefore helps writers at each stage of their writing process – from the beginning to the end of their memoir.
New Writers:
- Do you have an idea in mind, and don’t know where to start?
- Perhaps you just know at this stage that you want to write something!
Follow the course, let it guide you, and see what happens. Your story will emerge as you proceed along your writing journey. Trust the process.
Emerging Writers:
- You have words on the page, and you want to develop them further.
- Are you stuck? Perhaps the great idea you had when you started writing has gone off on a tangent, and you are now lost.
- Perhaps you have written a few thousand words, or several thousand, but you have lost the impetuous to write, and you know you have lost the direction of your story.
The problem at this stage usually relates to what you know, and what you don’t know about memoir writing and the art of story creation. By partaking in each element of the course, you soon discover what is missing from your story and how to go forwards in your writing.
Advanced Writers:
- You may have finished your manuscript, but you know it needs more work?
- Are you lost in a pool of words and you can’t see the wood from the trees?
- You don’t know what to do to reshape your story, what to cut, what to replace or how to fix it.
As an advanced writer you probably know a lot about story creation. It could be your characters are not defined enough, you have missed creating a vital element, or the structure is not fitting the story. Or it could be a number of things.
By completion of the course it will be obvious to you what is lacking in your story, and what you need to do to complete it.
