Welcome to 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.

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?

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!
