Is it time to write your memoir, life story or family history?
I’m Charlotte, Kiwi, former journo and long time writer of many books, blogs and songs.
I believe everyone has a story worth sharing.
So I channelled decades of writing experience into a one year programme called Write Your Memoir, to guide you through the process of taking your story from a jumble of ideas to a satisfying, completed first draft.
I love teaching people to write authentic, honest stories that are packed full of so much personality that readers feel like the authors are right there in the room with them.
