Enroll in Course
It is time to let your story live! You know your story needs to be told. Whether you’ve survived a traumatic experience, or you want to share how making your grandma’s favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe taught you everything you ever needed to know about life, I am certain your story can be fascinating, inspiring, or educational to others as well. You just have to tell it with a hint of mystery, colorful characters, and an amazing story line that sounds like it comes fresh from a fiction novel (but it’s not fiction, it’s your story)! You are living your best life; I will show you how to tell it!
This course is perfect for you if you are a new or up-and-coming author! If you are thinking about writing your memoir or have already started your memoir and have gotten stuck, you have come to the “write” place! I will show you what I did to write my memoir which made it to number four on the Amazon Hot New Releases List for Partner Abuse within one month of its release.
Scroll through all the course offerings to see what you will learn. I am so excited for your future!
Your Instructor
Hi! I'm Kimya - your instructor for this fab course. Together we are going to take a journey through the writing process to create your very own work of art! How amazeballs is that? I have been an educator for the past 20 years, but that's not all! I was the literacy coach for teachers in grades K - 5. That means I taught the teachers in the building how to teach their kids how to read and write (Try and say that 7 times fast). Now guess what? You get to have me all to yourself! With my combined education and experience, I've learned what it takes to create phenomenal classes to help you succeed. My goal is to make WRITING and CREATING as simple and fun as possible! I am over the moon you took the time and money to enroll in my course and I can assure you that everything you will learn has been taught and/or tested by MOI (that's "me" in French! You didn't know you were going to learn a new language too, huh? Not really.) . If you have any questions, email me at [email protected] and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.
Happy Writing! Kimya
