ONE-ON-ONE MEMOIR COACHING

When I sat down to write The Wrong End of the Table, I felt exhilarated but also terrified. The word memoir can sound self-aggrandizing, daunting, or cringe-inducing. And don't get me started on the "correct" pronunciation.

Here's the thing, though: the world needs genuine stories more than ever, and your story is distinctly yours. Writing mine was one of the most fulfilling experiences I've had, and now I want to help you craft yours.

Most people who want to write a memoir don't need a class. They need someone to ask the right questions and who can help them find the thread. Offering multiple options depending on where you are in your writing journey. All sessions are online.

UNCOVER YOUR AUTHENTIC “WHY”

I'm a writer skilled in film and TV scripts as well as podcasts and essays. My primary focus is on projects with an eye toward representation, inclusion, and shedding a light on underrepresented communities. Over the years, I've found a passion for helping new writers find their voices. As an instructor, I can help you uncover your own authentic “why” so that you tell the story truest to you. Everything is a story. And everyone has at least one story to tell, that is exclusively authentic to them. Learn more 👇🏽
