Memoir Coaching

You have a lifetime of stories. How do you turn them into a book?

Maybe you’ve been thinking about writing your memoir or life story for years, but every time you consider actually doing it, the project feels enormous.

Where do you start? What should you include? How do you organize decades of memories into something another person would want to read?

I can help.

I’m Colleen M. Story, an author of both fiction and nonfiction with more than a decade of experience writing and publishing books. I offer one-on-one coaching for people who want to write their memoirs or life stories but could use some help figuring out how to do it.

How I Can Help

Depending on where you are in the process, we might work together to figure out what your memoir is really about, decide which parts of your life belong in the book, or find a structure that makes sense for the story you want to tell.

If you’ve already started writing, I can help you turn your memories and ideas into stronger stories, work through places where you’re stuck, and decide what to do next.

And you don’t have to consider yourself a “writer” to work with me. You just need to have stories you want to save and a desire to get them onto the page.

Let’s Start With a Conversation

Every memoir is different, so I don’t want to assume what kind of help you need before I know a little about you and the story you want to tell.

Tell me where you are with your memoir, what you’d like help with, and what you’re hoping to accomplish. From there, we can talk about what kind of coaching would make the most sense for you.
