Memoir Masters pairs you with a dedicated coach who walks beside you from first outline to polished manuscript. Three coaching tiers. One mission: your memoir, masterfully told.
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."Maya Angelou
Every plan includes personal coaching sessions via video, manuscript review, and direct access to your coach throughout the writing process.
Half the price of premium coaching services, with more structure and accountability. For writers ready to commit to their story.
Everything a premium hourly coach charges, in one predictable price. Deeper coaching with more sessions, faster manuscript turnaround, and developmental editing.
The full experience at the quality of 1-on-1 expert coaching, plus a dedicated community and live events. Intensive coaching, line editing, and preparation for publishing.
Memoir Masters goes beyond one-on-one coaching. Our community programming connects you with fellow writers, sharpens your craft in intensive settings, and gives you deadlines that actually matter.
Group sessions on memoir craft, story structure, finding your voice, and navigating the publishing landscape. Learn alongside other writers at every stage.
Two focused retreats per year. Bring your manuscript, get live feedback, work through the hard chapters, and leave with real momentum.
The flagship event. Five days of guided, intensive writing where you produce a complete first draft of your memoir under direct coaching.
A mobile writing experience designed for memoir. Capture moments, draft chapters, and flow freely, whether you're at your desk or on the go.
Quick-capture memories and moments as they surface, before they fade.
Distraction-free writing environment tuned for long-form memoir.
Send drafts directly to your coach for review through the portal.
Unlike agencies that hand you off between freelancers, you get one coach who knows your story. Continuity. Accountability. Real partnership from outline to publication.
Other services end at 6 months or charge you hourly indefinitely. We stay with you until it's done. No artificial time limits, no surprise invoices. One price, full commitment.
Writing doesn't have to be solitary. Every tier includes access to seminars, clinics, and our annual bootcamp. Learn alongside other writers. Deadlines that matter. Growth that compounds.
Capture the stories that shaped you across bases, deployments, and moves. Honor the service, legacy, and resilience of your family.
You have time now. Channel decades of experience, adventure, and hard-won wisdom into a book that will outlast you.
Your journey—and how you overcame it—can help others. Turn pain into purpose through the act of writing and sharing.
You don't need to be a \"writer\" to write a memoir worth reading. We'll help you find your voice and tell your story beautifully.
Four clear steps — from "I have a story to tell" to holding your finished memoir.
We'll talk about your story, your goals, and which coaching tier fits your timeline and budget. No pressure, no pitch deck.
Schedule your call →Your coach maps out a chapter structure and writing schedule built around your life — not a generic template.
Regular video sessions, manuscript feedback, and direct coach access keep you moving forward — even when the words won't come.
From polished manuscript to publishing strategy, we see it through to the end. Your story, beautifully told and ready to share.

Most writers complete a first draft in 6–18 months depending on the memoir's length and how consistently they write. Your coach will help you set a realistic timeline in your first session. Many clients write 1,000–2,000 words per week and finish a full manuscript within a year.
Absolutely. Most of our clients have never written anything longer than an email. You don't need a writing background — you need a story worth telling and the commitment to tell it. Your coach will help you find your voice, structure your memories, and turn rough drafts into something you're proud of.
Silver ($297/mo): One weekly video session, manuscript review via email, chapter-by-chapter feedback, and writing exercises.
Gold ($497/mo): Two weekly sessions, priority manuscript review, developmental editing, narrative structure coaching, and portal access.
Platinum ($997/mo): Three weekly sessions, full manuscript editing, publishing strategy guidance, query letter support, and priority event registration.
All tiers include access to community seminars, writing clinics, and our annual Author Bootcamp.
Sessions are booked through your client dashboard using our scheduling portal. You pick from your coach's available windows in 15-minute increments — so if you prefer a 45-minute session instead of the standard 60, that works. Scheduling is flexible; rescheduling is easy with 24 hours notice.
Stuck is normal — memoir writing surfaces hard memories, and blank-page anxiety is universal. Your coach is there specifically for those moments. Between sessions, you have direct access via the portal to unblock specific chapters or work through a difficult scene. The writing clinics and community seminars also exist to give you deadlines and momentum when solo work stalls.
Month-to-month. No lock-in contracts. We believe the quality of the coaching should be the reason you stay — not paperwork. You can cancel or pause anytime from your dashboard. Most clients stay well beyond a year because momentum builds and finishing becomes the real goal.
Memoir Masters exists to make sure yours is.
