Your Story in Your Words

Write Your Memoir Without the Stress of Writing

The practice of Memoirtistry has taught me that everyone has a unique story worth telling.

My mission is to help you articulate your life experiences without the stress of traditional writing. Through a personalized interview process, we capture your memories in your own voice, allowing you to share your journey authentically. Whether it’s cherished moments, significant milestones, or recovery from trauma, I transform your words into a beautifully crafted manuscript that reflects your life story.

Let me take the pressure off—you focus on storytelling while I focus on the writing and editing.

What is Memoir?

Memoir is a literary genre focused on personal experiences and reflections, distinguished from autobiography by its emphasis on specific themes or events rather than a comprehensive life story. In memoir writing, the author explores their memories to convey truths, insights, and emotions that resonate with readers. This genre allows writers to reflect on pivotal moments in their lives, providing a lens through which they can discuss broader societal issues, emotional journeys, and personal growth.

How the Process Works

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Dawn, and I want to help you write your story.

Step 1: Schedule a Consultation

Identify the time period for your memoir; review photos and important memories to guide our discussions. Determine which package suits your needs.

Step 2: Schedule Interviews

Tell your story! I will ask clarifying questions, ensuring we cover all the essential details.

Step 3: Your Story is Written

When interview hours are complete, I upload the audio and, using the transcript, draft an Outline & Sample Chapter.

Step 4: Editorial Round

Review the Outline & Sample Chapter to approve the narrative and adjust outstanding details.

Step 5: Manuscript Delivered

Upon approval, I will complete your memoir and deliver the manuscript.
