Description

You are a storyteller — not because you are unusual (though your life experiences may well be), but because we are all storytellers. We each carry an infinite potential for self-expression-through-story that, if we open to it, can transform our lives and the lives of others in ways we cannot begin to imagine.

At the same time, what you have lived is unique. Whatever your age and background, no one else has experienced what you have in the ways that you have. No one else has learned what you have in the ways that you have. No one else has reshaped themselves in the ways that you have. Because of that, what you have gained through your years of living is beyond price. And the value of all you share through your words is incalculable.

In From Memory to Memoir, author and writing coach Mark David Gerson uses his signature blend of inspiration and practical tools and techniques to awaken you to your innate gift for storytelling, show you how easy it is to get your stories onto the page and help you to create a compelling narrative. Most important of all, he will motivate you to keep writing until your memoir is done. 

Who this course is for:

  • You have inspiring stories to tell, stories you feel moved to share with the world.
  • Family and friends urge you to get the stories you have told them into writing.
  • You want to leave a legacy for your children and grandchildren.
  • Your life-changing experiences could help and inspire others.
