Have you ever thought:
“One day I should write my life story.”
Most people do.
But life gets busy.
The idea stays in the back of your mind.
And the story remains unwritten.
This workshop is the moment you begin.
No pressure. No perfectionism. Just a taste of what it takes to write your life story.
In one relaxed and inspiring session, hosted by Lisa Marks, you’ll discover how to turn memories into meaningful stories – and take the first real step towards writing the story only you can tell.
You don’t need to be a professional writer.
You just need a life that’s been lived.
Enthusiasm required. Perfectionism actively discouraged.
Why Memoir Matters
Your life isn’t ordinary.
It’s full of moments that shaped who you are:
turning points, surprises, losses, laughter, decisions, chance encounters.
Memoir is about discovering the meaning inside those moments and turning them into stories that others can recognise, connect with, and remember.
During this workshop you’ll begin to see your memories in a completely new way.
Not just as things that happened. But as the building blocks of a powerful story.
What You’ll Experience
In this relaxed, practical session, you’ll learn:
Where to start (without overthinking it)
Pick a meaningful moment and learn exactly what to do with it.
Turn a memory into a piece of writing
Learn what to do next – and how to shape your moment into something engaging and real.
Take part in a guided writing exercise
Begin writing your own memoir during the session – no pressure, just a starting point.
Get a powerful prompt to keep you going
Something you can return to after the workshop.
Q&A – anything and everything is up for discussion
Focused on helping you take your next step.
By the end of the session, you won’t just know where to start – you’ll have already begun.
What Lisa’s clients are saying:
“I very luckily came upon Lisa’s memoir course at the absolute right time. She brought together a small group of writers, dealt sensitively with some delicate subject matter and also provided an appropriate level of humour, whilst outlining the nitty gritty of how to get the thoughts out of my head and onto the page. I’m now nearly two chapters in, have a solid plan of how to proceed and have benefitted from Lisa’s experience, talent and genuine interest in the journey of others, as well as the other participants on the course. I highly recommend the course and having Lisa as a cheerleader is a priceless experience.” – Jennifer B, February 2026 course attendee.

About Lisa
I’m an author, editor, journalist and writing coach with more than 30 years’ professional experience. I’ve written for national newspapers and magazines in the UK and the US, lived and worked in Hollywood, taught journalism and magazine publishing at various universities and run successful writers’ groups both in the UK and Los Angeles.
In 2020, I published my celebrity journalism memoir Ryan is Ready for You Now (number 1 in Amazon’s Pop Culture category), and now work one-to-one with writing clients who want to tell their stories with honesty, care and confidence.
I understand how vulnerable memoir writing can feel. I will never push you beyond your limits. My aim is to create a safe, encouraging and bully-free space where writers feel supported, heard and motivated.
What LISA’s clients say
“Lisa believed in me when others did not and helped shape my journals into what became my memoir. She guided me with skill, integrity and sensitivity, always knowing when to challenge and when to step back. Her experience was invaluable.”
— Darren Ryan, author of Lifeline

Critique not criticism only. This is a safe space. Everybody is welcome. Bullying and rudeness will not be tolerated. Most people who join are lovely, so I do not expect this to ever be an issue.
Be aware that we may be talking about sensitive subjects, so please tread carefully. There are regular check-ins to ensure you are comfortable with sharing your work, tand hearing from others.

Hello from Lisa!
“I’m a real person (it’s 2026 so this needs to be said), who genuinely cares about your story, and who has been through this process.
If you have any questions, about either of the courses, please email me.
“My role is to give you permission to write, the confidence to tell your story and shepherd you through the process with assurance, common sense and clarity. Although memoir writing can sometimes be serious, I know we’ll have some fun along the way too.”
