Is it time to write your memoir, life story or family history? Former journalist Charlotte Squire has produced well over 20 books, and has created a one year programme called Write Your Memoir, to guide you through the process of going from a jumble of ideas to a completed first draft.

The programme includes:

40+ video lessons to your email inbox
Monthly online gatherings to share stories
Support and guidance to stay on track
