You Have a Story. You Do Not Know Where to Begin.

You have carried these memories for years. The move that changed everything. The parent you finally understand. The version of yourself you want to name before it fades.

You have tried to write it. A page here. A half-finished notebook there. Then the doubt arrives. Where do I start? Which stories matter? What if someone reads this?

You are not stuck because you lack a story. You are stuck because no one has shown you how to shape one.

A Gentle, Guided Path Into Memoir

Six weeks. Eleven lessons. Small, doable pieces. A steady hand from someone who has walked this ground with hundreds of writers.

Write in Scenes

Forget chapters. You will write short, vivid moments and piece them together into something whole.

Prompts That Open Memory

Each lesson gives you a doorway. You walk through and the writing arrives on the page.

A Safe Space to Reflect

Michael brings a counselling background to the work. Your truth is held with care.

"Writing memoir has surprised me. . . .  I thought, well, I'm going to have to write about the trauma that looms large. What I have uncovered instead is joy. Such a sweet surprise!"

Common Questions

A few things writers ask before they enroll.

Is this course really for beginners?
Yes. This course is built for people who have never written a memoir and for those returning after a long time away. You do not need writing credentials. You need memory and a willingness to sit with it.
How long do I have access?
Access is yours to keep. You remain a member of the course vault as long as Memoir Studio can provide it. If it's necessary to close the vault, we will inform you in advance.
What if I do not want to publish?
Most of my writers are here for the reflective work itself. Some want to leave a legacy for family. Some want to heal. Publication is one path among many, and none is required.
Can I add 1:1 coaching later?
Yes. Many writers begin with the course and then add coaching sessions once they know their direction. A single session is $150, with bundles of 3 for $450 or 6 for $800.
What if I am not sure this is right for me?
Book a free 20-minute Discovery Call. We will talk about your story and whether this course is the right first step.
