Would you like a test drive?

A great way to get to know Susy's teaching & coaching style is...

... to check out my free, private Facebook group called Everything Memoir. 


I've been hosting it for about 4 years and there are dozens of original video workshops & handouts available there on just about every aspect of memoir writing. And they're all FREE! 


It's a great way to get to know me (virtually) and get an idea of how I teach, and what you might be in for. 


I have a special place in my heart and soul for anyone who wants to write a memoir or personal story. I know the struggle, and I love to help.

What is My One-Year Memoir?

My One-Year Memoir is a private coaching group with bestselling memoirist Susy Flory to help you write your memoir in a year! You will get the latest, proven information and techniques you won't find anywhere else, personally crafted by Susy Flory to help you make progress on your one-year memoir journey -- all in a supportive environment of live video monthly group meetings with Susy and others working on their stories. Whether you are an experienced writer or an ordinary person with a story to tell, you are invited! 


My goal is to teach and coach you to write a memoir your reader can't put down.

Why?

Get the latest, proven information and techniques you won't find anywhere else, personally crafted by Susy Flory to help you make progress on your one-year memoir journey.


  • Do people always tell you, "You should write a book!"
  • Do you have a story that needs to be told, but you're not sure how to get started?
  • Have you started writing a memoir or personal story but got discouraged, stuck, or distracted?
  • Do you feel alone or discouraged?
  • Are you intimidated by the thought of writing a book?
  • Is it hard to find the time and energy to get your memoir done?


What happens each month?

  1. One 90 minute Zoom workshop per month, all hands. These workshops teach you how to write a memoir step-by-step, including Q&A, handouts and templates, and are recorded so you can watch later (you will have access to these resources forever). The goal? I want to teach you and coach you how to write a memoir that a reader can't put down.
  2. One 30 minute coaching call on Zoom each month, one-on-one. This is personalized coaching, encouragement, and practical, actionable feedback on your monthly writing submission.
  3. Invitation to a private Facebook group for interaction and questions.
  4. Open access to email me anytime with questions or thoughts.


NOTE: We meet on Zoom as I have students all over the world!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Lisa

I first want to say "thank you" so much for the time and attention you put into reviewing my book. Your review was encouraging and wise and affirming of how I have grown as a writer. Thanks so much for your teaching. Super helpful. Simplifying. Clarifying. Confidence building. Thank you once again for the gift you facilitated by the grace of God. I am so grateful for your presence with me, empowering me to write this book. Thank you!

Nancy

Thanks for everything you do. This has been a healing process for me. My brain and heart feel free. This was an amazing year of My1YM.  Thank you for teaching and guiding us all through the process of writing our stories.

Linda

Thanks again. To think, two years ago this book was just a bunch of blog entries with no story arc, and no plan to ever be anything more. Now, 67,000 words later, here I am!

Penny

I’m so grateful you take the time to lift others up. You have lifted me up. It’s an honor to call you a mentor and friend.

Ruth

I had a dream a year ago, but it was more than a dream. It was a burning desire to share my testimony before it was time to go to my heavenly home. I had tried many times but never had the strength to tell the whole truth — the good and scary parts. I had five different minister coaches over the past years who would encourage me to start with the promise they would fit me into their busy lives. Unfortunately, we would work on it for a couple sessions, and then they ran out of time. Thank you and bless you for sharing your gifts with a group of strangers struggling to share their testimony in writing. "Faith can move mountains, but don't be surprised if God hands you a shovel" (Author Unknown). Thank you for being that shovel to show me where to dig.
