Memoir projects are guided, interview-based collaborations in which we find your core story within broader experience and apply narrative tools to develop it into a book.

If you want to create a book that is less personal and more of a history or record of events, visit the Legacy Books page.

I can support parts of this process (such as conducting interviews or editing) at an hourly rate, or I can manage the project entirely at a package rate determined after discussing the project.

Most memoir projects that I manage entirely take a year or longer to complete, and are anchored by regular, hour-long sessions via phone, zoom, or in person.

We’ll cover:

• Memoir versus autobiography

• Finding. your story

• Identifying core scenes

• Material gathering

• Structure and story development

• Process and working through blocks

• Publishing paths

I’ll provide:

• Interview transcripts as foundational prose

• Writing and feedback on your writing

• Writing tools and resources

• Publication and proposal guidance

• A personalized reading list
