Description
Writing your bio can be a painful, exhilarating, grueling, eye-opening, scary, self-fulfilling experience, but hopefully, in this course you will find the creativity, conviction, and confidence to tell all.
People write their memoirs for various reasons. You have your own: to build a legacy, to commemorate a Loved One, to express yourself, to identify hidden emotions, to understand and to be understood, to educate, to facilitate healing, to reinvent yourself, to boost your obituary! Here’s the bottom line ─ People write because their lives matter! You matter!
This course, given by a professional ghostwriter/writing coach, guides students, step-by-step, on 1) what to write, and 2) how to write about the many events that make up their life; from ideas, prompts and techniques, to a point where they hold a comprehensive life story in their hands, ready to treasure and share. This is when you may need a pen for autographs!
To help students facilitate their writing, a writing guide and template are available for download. Also included is a free, one-year membership to the Biography Timeliner, the ultimate writing template.
