It deserves time, attention and expert care.

You’ve Lived It. Now Let’s Shape It.
There comes a point where writing your memoir stops being a vague idea and becomes something more pressing.
Not just “I should do this one day.”
But: “I want to do this properly.”
Because your life isn’t a collection of anecdotes.
It’s a narrative – with meaning, complexity, and depth.
Legacy in Words is a bespoke, one-to-one memoir experience designed to help you shape that narrative into something lasting.

There are no generic modules.
No one-size-fits-all frameworks.
This is private, high-level mentorship.
You work directly with me – week by week, step-by-step – developing your memoir with clarity, rigour and intention.

WHY WORK WITH 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 private 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.
In this phase of my career, I’m privileged to see new writers soar. I’ve helped:
- Writers find their voice
- Professionals articulate their experience
- Individuals make sense of complex, deeply personal stories
What I offer is not just technical expertise.
It’s attention, insight – and honest, considered guidance.
When you work with me, your writing is taken seriously.
What Lisa’a Clients Say
“I’d had the thought of writing a memoir of experiences buzzing about my head for quite some time, but had no idea how on earth to start. 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.
