Ina The Memoir Coach

Got a Story to Tell?

  • Have you been thinking you'd like to write your life stories, but feel stumped about where to begin?
  • Maybe you've started, have notes in shoe boxes all over the house, but need help organizing them?
  • Has the family been bugging you to just do it already? For them? For the world?
  • Or, perhaps you are a published author new to the memoir form?
  • Or is this you--it's not your time, but you have parents or grandparents whose stories you would love to read. Not only to help fill you in on their history, but for the valuable life lessons learned?
If any of these questions rings a bell, stop bugging yourself, or your "parental units"! Coach Ina has been working for years with folks of all ages who have never written in their lives, as well as previously published authors. She has a wealth of proven techniques that help both kinds of writers open up to new ways of thinking, and writing. She can help you get your book written, and printed, for friends and family, or the world.
Working with Coach Ina, or using her book, will help you jump right in! And keep you motivated!
