• 107: Why Discipline Won’t Help You Finish Your Memoir in 2026

  This episode is for the writer who is actually really good at sitting down to write. Procrastination probably isn’t your kryptonite (at least when you’ve made writing a habit). I can bet that you’re disciplined and committed to the projects that matter to you. You wouldn’t have even considered writing your memoir if you didn’t have some chutzpah behind it! But, for reasons you can’t quite figure out, you’re still not finished. And it’s starting to drive you crazy. Let’s talk about it. (And stick around until the end of the episode, because I’m announcing something new and fun and it comes with a little holiday sparkle!)Move your memoir forward by enrolling in The Memoir Method today and take advantage of these limited-time holiday specials:New 1:1 writers get two bonus callsThe first five writers to enroll in The Memoir Method will have a free intensiveNot sure?

• 106: The Moment My Clients Pay For

  This episode is for the writer desperate to reconnect to her memoir. You’ve felt meh about your memoir for months, and you’ve realized that you hate feeling that way about your story. You hate feeling frustrated and discouraged about this manuscript that actually means so much to you. I walk my clients through very deep and vulnerable moments of doubt and discouragement, and without fail, when they reach a certain point, they skyrocket. Today I’m bringing you behind the curtain so that you can see when this happens and when it can happen for you too. Let’s get started.Move your memoir forward by enrolling in The Memoir Method today and take advantage of these limited-time holiday specials:New 1:1 writers get two bonus callsThe first five writers to enroll in The Memoir Method will have a free intensiveNot sure?

• 105: Why it Works (or Not)—The Tragedy of True Crime, Part 2

  This episode is part of a series where I take already published memoir and break down what works and why (and what doesn’t work and why). I’ve found that when I’m teaching my Memoir Method concepts to my writers, they benefit from seeing how these principles play out in memoir that you can find at the bookstore. This month I’m looking at the memoir / true crime hybrid The Tragedy of True Crime, and today is part 2.

• 104: How to Stop Overworking Your Memoir

  This episode is for the writer who keeps coming back to the same chapters to rewrite. I won’t ask you to tell me how many drafts you’ve worked through, but I’ll chance a guess that it’s more than three or four. I’ve seen this happen with brilliant writers, and it’s a spiral that will cannibalize your offer. You can get to a point where you’re OVER editing, OVER working your memoir, and you’ve lost the plot. Let’s talk about it.Episode 99: Breaking the Rewrite Cycle3 Hidden Reasons You Haven't Finished Your Memoir free videoJoin the Chapter One Jumpstart ChallengeYou can find me on Instagram @the.memoir.coach, Substack, Facebook, and YouTube.Join my email list to stay up to date on the podcast and everything else going on in Charlotte Writes.
