IS MAP YOUR MEMOIR FOR YOU?

MAP YOUR MEMOIR IS PERFECT IF…

  • 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 WORKSHOP IS NOT…

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

  • A manuscript critique. I’ve shared openly that I don’t agree that the feedback model will set you up for writing success so this workshop is designed to give YOU the tools to validate and revise your own work.

  • A rambling video. It’s an organised, pre-recorded training masterclass where I walk you through the process with examples, action steps and more.
