Who is this course for?

If you're a first-time writer dreaming of indie publishing your story, this coaching is made for you.

Hi I'm Anna

I'm a creative writer. I'm deeply connected to the transformative power of writing, particularly memoir writing. I believe that through memoir writing, individuals not only preserve their legacy but also embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

Having recently completed a course on memoir writing with distinction, I am currently working through my memoir.

I published my book, "10,000 Steps Towards Me," in 2021. After doing so, I noticed that others dreamed of writing a book but were too busy with their daily lives or didn’t know where to start. Determined to make their dreams a reality, I started Impact Storyteller.

I look forward to coaching you through your memoir creation process.

How does it work?

  • Through detailed notes, you will go through six lessons in every module, where you'll learn the techniques of memoir writing.
  • Designed by the course creator, each module will dive deep and explore key topics to help you thrive.
  • Each lesson will have action items for you to complete and send to your coach for written feedback.
  • Work at your own pace up to a maximum of nine months. 
  • We recommend taking a month to go through each module to gain the maximum benefit and momentum to complete your memoir.
  • On average, each module should take 2 hours to review and 6 hours to complete the action items. Roughly 8 - 10 hours a month.
  • Enjoy access to three online coaching sessions within 6 months, ensuring you have ample time to benefit from this valuable resource. Each session will be an hour in duration. 
  • You can book a session conveniently from the link provided by your coach when you need the most guidance. 

When can I start?

  • You can enrol at any time and start once your coach has approved your participation. Your coach will require you to book a short introductory call to ensure you're a good fit for each other.
