What we’re about
Memoir Mentors is a safe space to support, inspire and motivate memoirists and writers of personal essays.
There’s nothing quite like a writing group to take your writing to the next level. However, writing a memoir has a unique set of challenges and rewards.
Maybe you’ve tried writing groups before but were afraid to share because your writing is too personal or you don’t relate to the challenges that fiction writers face.
Maybe you’re afraid to join a writing group because you think everyone will be more advanced than you, maybe you worry that people will judge you. Fear not.
Memoir mentors is an amazing group of individuals; some are already published, some are just getting started, and some have been working on their memoirs for years. Each and every one of us has an incredible story to share and is committed to lifting each other up to achieve each other’s goals.
We meet every Tuesday for writing sessions, workshops, book club, and author Q&A sessions.

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Memoir Mentors - ONLINE Write then Read -- 7pm Munich, 10am PacificLink visible for attendees
MEMOIR/PERSONAL ESSAY/CREATIVE NONFICTION WRITERS/LIFE POETS welcome!
Come join us for 90 minutes of focused memoir writing time, followed by time to share what you wrote.
7:00 - 7:15 - Introductions and intention setting
7:15 - 8:45 - 90 minutes of devoted writing/editing on your memoir/personal essay
8:45 - 10:00 - Anyone who would like to share may read for five minutes. The preference is to read what you've written during the session to motivate us to really get busy during those 90 minutes. However, if there is a previously written piece that you need feedback on, that is fine as well. Perfection is an illusion so don't feel ashamed to share something that you do not feel is perfect.Let us know before you read what kind of feedback you would like, if any. If you would just like positive encouragement, that's totally fine! If you want something more constructive, we're happy to offer that as well. We have a wonderfully kind and welcoming group, so don't be intimidated!
Reading out loud (and listening to others!) is a wonderful experience.
This is a safe space devoted to authors of memoirs/personal essays/creative nonfiction. Please come support and inspire each other and make progress together! We have sessions every Thursday.
