The Problem
"Most of us mean to write our story one day, and most of us never start: the task feels too big, too personal, or too late. Taken one theme at a time, about two pages at a sitting, it becomes something anyone can do."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For anyone who wants to set down their life story for themselves, their children or their grandchildren, at any age and with no writing experience needed. It follows The Long Bloom and sits beside AgeWell.

Every life holds stories worth keeping. A companion to Richard Campbell and Cheryl Svensson's Writing Your Legacy, in the tradition of James Birren's Guided Autobiography, this course walks you through the whole craft of a life story: why to write it, writing with the senses and your own voice, building a story from the inside out, waking old memories and writing hard chapters gently, thirty-five themes from forks in the road to the times you lived through, a legacy letter, and finishing, sharing and writing together in a group.
