Write Your Memoir
One Story at a Time

Two-Hour Workshop with Carla King and Linda Joy Myers 
Thursday, April 23, 2026
ON-DEMAND NOW

Stuck in the muddy middle of your memoir? You’re not alone — and there’s a better way forward.

Instead of wrestling with the whole book, what if you wrote one small, powerful story at a time? Mini-memoir is the art of writing short, focused pieces from your larger story — a single scene, a vivid memory, a moment that captures something true. These pieces are satisfying to write, easy to share, and surprisingly powerful for unlocking the bigger work.


Writing Groups

Share your writing with like-minded authors for accountability and critique. 


The Writing Group You've Been Looking For

By popular request, I’ve set up this lightly facilitated, writer-driven group where you’ll be matched with a small peer pod to exchange work, stay on track, and strengthen your craft. You’ll meet, share, and give feedback inside the Writing & Publishing Circle—our private, supportive online space with a 24/7 discussion group for constant connection.

You'll critique stories and chapters, scenes and outlines. This is a safe, productive space that has clear guidelines for writing group etiquette and feedback recommendations.

Your stories are almost ready. Let’s make sure the world is, too!

This session is a preview of my Publishing 101 course in January 2026, that teaches you how to market, publish, and promote your book.

Write It. Share It. Publish It.

If you’re ready to turn your writing goals into forward motion, this workshop will help you lay the foundation for a publishing plan you can grow over time.

Designed for writers at any stage—whether you’re shaping your first draft or juggling multiple projects—it offers a big-picture framework that links your creative process with audience building and publishing steps.

You’ll explore how short-form publishing can fuel long-term book goals, begin mapping out the stages of your own year-long plan, and discover how today’s AI tools can support idea generation, organization, and outreach.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the beginnings of a personalized roadmap to guide you as you learn and take each step toward sharing your stories and finishing and publishing your book.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy to get real results.
If using AI tools like ChatGPT sounds intimidating, you’re not alone. Many of the authors I work with were skeptical or nervous at first—until they tried it.

Over the past year, I’ve helped dozens of writers—many of them self-described technophobes—learn to use AI to support their writing. And they’ve been thrilled with the results. They’ve written faster, gained clarity on structure, improved their scenes, and generated marketing content with ease.
