Writing your memoir without first knowing your memoir's unique message is to waste precious writing time.

You will spend weeks, even months, writing in the wrong direction.

Are you writing in the wrong direction?

If you are writing your memoir simply filling page after page with eighty thousand words about your life, you are writing in the wrong direction.

Unfortunately, most struggling first-time writers of memoir make the mistake of simply sitting down to write but, without FIRST knowing what the promise is of your memoir, and the transformational journey you are offering your reader, you won't know who you are writing for. You will waste months typing away and end up with a memoir that doesn't speak to anyone. That's why I have developed the Create Your Memoir Blueprint | From Premise to Promise Course which walks you through everything you need to know before you pick up a pen or start to click away on your keyboard.

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.

  • Kathy | Georgia, USA

    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.

  • Colette | BC, Canada

    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

Don't be stalled, frustrated or confused,

when you can Create your Memoir Blueprint | From Premise to Promise instead.

  • 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—create your blueprint for your memoir.

  • Keep Going

    With the blueprint of your memoir by your side, you will know why you care about this story and why the reader should care too. Nailing your premise, being clear on your promise, and outlining your plot and transformation will have you writing confidently right to the last 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'll be the author you want to be.

Common Memoir Writing Mistakes I See!

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.
