Course Reviews

  • Cynthia | Ontario, Canada

    Brenda, your course is excellent. This is one of, if not, the best course I have seen. The format works really well. You understand attention span and I never once checked how much video was left. Your presentation skills are impeccable. I never had a "what did she say?" moment. I am totally clear about what needs to be said, and more importantly, what doesn't need to be said.

    Brenda, this is a great course. You kept putting my feet to the fire, and so I went deeper in understanding what my book is about than any other course I have ever done.

    The blueprint does work! I had a hot mess of information for my memoir but instinctively knew I wasn't putting it together correctly. It was so frustrating. Because of your course, I now know how to organize my material and why some scenes can be part of the memoir or why others don't belong.

  • Jeanne | Minnesota, USA

    Going through this course helped me clear the cobwebs! You made it very concise, simple, and clear in only the way you can teach it. Thank you so much for this course. Because you made it simple, it made me dig a little deeper and I started writing again! You have a winning course on your hands.

  • Christie | Arizona, USA

    I love your course, Brenda - and it is not only for beginners. I'm on the second draft of my memoir and going through the course is helping me to hone the message of my memoir even more!

  • Glenn | Israel

    Brenda, I listened to your video on the 'potential reader' in the bookstore episode of your Blueprint Your Memoir course and finally (after years of doubt) understood that question - Who are you writing for? I filled-in the worksheet in a flurry of realization of who my reader is and of how important that question is for my memoir. Thank youI

Why I created this Blueprint Course and Workbook for you!

The idea of this workbook and course actually came from you.

As the videos on my YouTube channel increased, viewers started to ask questions about issues they were struggling with. At the same time, as I worked with memoir writers, I noticed that some lacked an understanding of the basic structure and intent of a memoir. I realized then that it would be helpful to them - and to me - if they could grasp the framework of a memoir - from cover to cover - in one place and in a structured order. Next, I thought, what about a workbook to record their blueprint for easy reference? And, of course, let's expand the course with videos that are not available on my YouTube channel. With that the course started to take shape. This course is ideal for beginner writers, writers who want to make sure they have all the bases covered, and writers who feel that they have got stuck in writing their memoir. Don't waste anymore time trying to find your own way. This course will help you to have the blueprint of your memoir sorted in next to no-time. Save yourself frustration and confusion, and put that energy into writing your memoir with focus and confidence. I work with you over a period of six weeks to bring this altogether.


Stalled, frustrated or confused in writing your memoir?

Or just starting out and need help in getting going?

  • Get Traction

    Without a blueprint for our memoir, two things happen: we write reams of memories that aren't going anywhere or we get stuck. We know we are missing something, but what? Either way, we are lost. Get traction - and in the right direction - blueprint your memoir.

  • Get and Keep Going

    Having a blueprint of your memoir, and knowing why you care about it, what its premise is, and the promise you are offering the reader, will get you writing confidently. And blueprinting the structure of your memoir - its plot and its story - will keep you going to that final punctuation mark.

  • And Get it Done

    We'll blueprint your memoir from front cover to back cover and everything in between. It's easy to get stalled, frustrated or confused while writing a memoir, I know I have been there. But you don't have to. Get this course, plan your memoir, and you - my friend - will be the author you want to be.

Step into your dream to write your memoir!

By the time you finish this course

Here's what you will have:

PART 1: A blueprint of why you want to write your memoir,  who it is for, the universal truth it speaks to, its core themes, and the unique value you bring to writing your memoir. You will blueprint this into your memoir statement to help you stay focused when writing your memoir. 

PART 2: A blueprint of the eight components of the premise of your memoir, your memoir's promise, the chronological structure of your memoir,  your book's primary theme through its front cover, and an overview of the 3 Act structure of your memoir. You will blueprint this into your memoir's premise and promise statements so that you know exactly what your memoir is about and what you are offering the reader. 

PART 3: A blueprint of your memoir's plot and its story in its 3 Acts. You'll have identified the problem you are going to solve and know when to reveal it; you'll have blueprinted your character arc and identified three other key characters in your memoir. You'll blueprint this into writing the back cover of your book so that you know, without a doubt, that you have the key components of your memoir covered before you start, or the confidence to look at your existing memoir manuscript afresh.
