Attending the memoirs course will enable you to write that special life story that will engage and thrill readers.
Gail said: The Secrets of a Memoirist course has been beyond revolutionary for me, both personally and in terms of providing the technical knowledge that I had hoped to gain. What a journey your course has set me on. Thank you.
Judy said: I just wanted to thank you again for a very special Memoirs course last week. I got everything I wanted from the course and a whole lot more which I hadn’t been expecting at all! I felt affirmed and supported and encouraged.
