Memoir

You are a memoir writer stuck in writing groups?

You have hundreds of journaling pages?

You can’t decide which story to tell?

Don’t let unprofessional feedback prevent you from writing the best book you can.

No matter how well written your book 

especially when it is a really good book – 

you need a book coach. You know that, why else would you be here?

I’ve been working on my memoir for years. My collection of essays reflected my jumbled life living in five countries on three continents. Working through challenging questions, the very concise feedback and insights from Michaela has helped me shape the mess of my life into a from I'm proud of. I wish I’d had Michaela as a book coach when I wrote my first novel, The Amaranth Bloom.

Congratulations! You came to the right place.

I help memoir writers with a SNAPSHOT:

S tory – What about your story is unique? 

N arration – Why are you telling the story?

A rc – Where does the story start and end?

P lotpoints – What are the life changing events?

H eroin – Who is the protagonist (I know it’s you—and … ?)
