What you receive
Six things, every month.
01
Live monthly writing circle
A 90-minute Zoom gathering with Michael. Grounding, a short reflection, timed writing, and optional sharing.
02
A weekly memoir prompt
One reflection, one writing invitation, and one or two deepening questions. A suggested time limit keeps it simple.
03
Memoir Structure spotlight
A short monthly video/audio lesson on shaping your material. Openings, family stories, structure, and turning fragments into a piece.
04
The Garden library (coming soon)
Past teachings, prompts, exercises, and templates in one place. Useful, not bloated.
05
The Studio Table
A lightly moderated space to introduce yourself, post a reflection, ask for encouragement, and find a writing partner.
06
Pod Connect
A guide to form a small group of two to four writers. How to meet, how to listen, and how to respond with care.

"The Memoir Studio Garden is a quiet monthly membership for people who want to keep writing their life stories with gentle structure and support. Each month, you get a live writing circle, weekly prompts, a short lesson on memoir structure, a growing library, and the option to write alongside other people in small peer-led pods. It is not a course to finish. It is a place to return to."
MICHAEL WILLIAMS, PH.D. MEMOIR STUDIO
