This memoir program lived up to its promise and more. I finished my memoir in the first week, instead of the last week. Then, somehow, I reviewed all 20 chapters and reduced 1M+ words to a mere 285K in a single ‘book’ document by the end of the course. AND I have a hook, plot points outline/table, query and synopsis. After twelve years working on my memoir, this was quite incredible!

Thanks to your logical step-by-step strategy, Louisa, I got my first manuscript to the publishers on time. Such common-sense! I’m up to book three in the series now…

  • YOUR STORY HOOK
    This is the ‘opening’ for your story and the ONLY way to ensure it’s compelling if you want to sell it.

  • THE 3 ACT OUTLINE
    Master the fundamentals of the 3 Act Structure and learn how the Hero’s Journey fits – plus map YOUR story using long-favoured screenwriting techniques.

  • YOUR TWO CONFLICTING DESIRES
    Map your two desires so you can turn the simplest story into a compelling book-length tale.

  • YOUR UNIVERSAL THEMES
    Learn what makes your story RELATABLE to a wide audience, no matter how ‘niche’ you think your topic or theme.

IS THE MAP YOUR MEMOIR BUNDLE FOR YOU?

MAP YOUR MEMOIR IS FOR YOU:
  • You have a strong idea for your story but you need some help knowing where to put your focus

  • You have questions about memoir outlines: is your hook a hook? What are the 2 desires? How can your personal story fit in the Hero’s Journey framework?

  • Perhaps you have a partial draft but you’re not sure if you’re on the right track (save yourself years by including these 5 fundamentals in your first draft!)

  • You want to know how to outline your memoir so you can finish the manuscript and sell it to a publisher

MAP YOUR MEMOIR IS NOT FOR YOU:
  • For you if you’re writing fiction or a screenplay

  • A workshop on book proposals – although what you learn will help you with your book proposal

  • A manuscript critique or a workshop where you get feedback, it is a self-study training bundle that will teach you how to plot your own story using a professional author’s proven techniques.
