30-Day Memoir Writing Challenge
National Memoir Writing Month (NaMeWriMo)
November 1-30, 2024
Your story matters.
How long have you been thinking about writing a memoir? Be honest, for years, right? You’ve written the opening scene over and over in your mind. Maybe you’ve even got pages saved on your computer. But something's holding you back. Maybe you feel like an imposter because you've never really learned how to write. Or maybe you're telling yourself that no one would care about your story. Or maybe you want to write a memoir, but you're not sure where you'd find the time. Any of these sound familiar?
Instead of sabotaging your dream, what do you say we change this?
📝 What if you could build a consistent writing habit, even with your busy schedule?
👩‍💻 Imagine the sense of satisfaction you'll feel seeing your story come to life.
✍️ How fun would it be to learn how to write memoir with other writers?
🧑🏽‍💻 Wouldn't it be great to work with a seasoned writer and editor who can guide you?
You can experience all of this with the 30-Day Memoir Writing Challenge!
“The two best days in a person’s life are the day you’re born, and the day you discover why.”
— Mark Twain
I don't remember the day I was born, but I do remember the day I discovered why. I'm here to help people shape the stories that have shaped their lives.
I make my living as a writer and editor. I've spent most of my career in publishing, along with many years in content marketing. I’ve ghostwritten articles and books and co-written and edited memoir and nonfiction manuscripts. I’ve also done the hard work of uncovering my own story and writing about it.
Whether memoir, essays, blog posts—whatever form your personal narrative takes—I want to help you experience the freedom, healing, and wholeness that comes from understanding and writing your own story and sharing it with the world. I can’t wait to join you on your journey.
— Marian
