Kick-Start Writing Your Memoir or Autobiography
10-week Interactive Course Delivered Live Online
In only 10 short weeks, you can outline your book and literally write several chapters about the story of your life! If your dream is to pass your life stories on to family or friends, you’ve found a great way to get inspired and started! Who knows, you might even be writing a bit of local history which will interest others?
With the writing tools and inspirational guidance Helle provides, it is easier for an aspiring writer like you to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).
Helle is a trained and certified instructor from the Birren Center in San Diego (www.guidedautobiography.com), and combines their methodology with her own useful and easily applicable tools for structuring and getting your writing flowing. Each week, students write about a given topic and share their stories in a small virtual group for support, positive critique, and encouragement. This also gives the feel for commitment as everyone is expected to “show up” each week. Before each class, Helle offers to read their new writing and send comments to each participant. At the end of the 10-week course, you will have at least ten chapters either completed or well under way! You’ll also be invited by Helle to join a private Facebook group for further support and encouragement.
Give yourself (or a friend or family member) this great gift of putting all those life stories into print so that they can be shared.

What is a guided autobiography?
Guided Autobiography (GAB) is a method for helping people document their life stories. Guided by a trained instructor, participants are led through themes and priming questions that evoke memories of events once known but filed away and seemingly forgotten. Each participant writes a story on a particular theme each week, brings the story to class and reads it to a small group of receptive classmates. Writing and sharing life stories with others is an ideal way to find new meaning in life and to put life events into perspective. While connecting with one another on their journeys of self-discovery, participants feel enlivened by the group experience and gain a greater appreciation of their own lives and of the lives of others. GAB can be a powerful catalyst for improved self-esteem, self-confidence, and communication within communities and within families.
