From Memory to Memoir
A powerful 8-week online memoir-writing course.
Everyone has a story to tell. But uncovering those narratives—and finding the courage to give voice to your truths—takes time and care. Writing is a process of discovery, and at the heart of compelling writing is finding your authentic voice. To do that, you need to connect with what’s most integral in your own experience.
From Memory to Memoir is an eight-week course designed to guide you through that journey. Whether you’re exploring recovery, heartache, life transitions, or simply the richness of your own past, these weekly two-hour classes will show you how to:
Begin writing your memoir
Structure your story
Engage your five senses on the page
Quiet your inner critic
Take steps toward publication
Along the way, you’ll be part of a supportive community of like-minded writers and receive guidance that helps you transform your personal story into writing you love. For those who want extra support, the course can be supplemented with group coaching or one-on-one editing.
Begin your journey of creative discovery and bring your story to life.

“I joined From Memory to Memoir (formerly Writing Your Recovery) in 2025. I am in awe of how deeply Ann listens and manages to synthesize what people have read, offering helpful and yet honest feedback. Ann is able to build people up at the same time as being constructive and authentic. She is immensely skillful at what she does!”

“Working with Ann has been the best decision I’ve made in years. I started in From Memory to Memoir (formerly Writing Your Recovery) pretty sure I’d never write a thing worth reading out loud, but eager to learn. I’m now in my second round of Writing Your Discovery and have a book underway! Ann’s careful stewardship and encouragement was exactly what I needed to rediscover my love of writing. I am officially a writer again, and I owe that in large part to Ann.”
