One thing I’ve realized while writing my memoir is that we’re never just one thing. I’m writing my life story here in Memoir School, but I’m also a photographer and spent many years in the modeling and entertainment world. It made me curious about everyone here. What do you do outside of writing your story? Are you an artist, entrepreneur, traveler, parent, musician, dreamer, survivor… something else entirely? I’d love to learn more about the people behind the stories. https://www.skool.com/free-fallin-1989-1364/about?ref=6210393648bb4c78aa4df4b17d20c8dd

🌎 Where My Memoir Found Its First Spotlight School Bookshop was one of the very first communities I joined, and it became a turning point in my writing journey. When I began writing my memoir, they lifted me up, supported me, encouraged me, and truly celebrated my wins. That kind of support means everything when you’re putting your story out into the world. Because of their encouragement, I was honored to become a spotlighted author in the community and even had the opportunity to do a live interview with the owner in Australia. It was an amazing experience and one I’ll always be grateful for. This is a wonderful community if you’re a writer, thinking about writing, or already published. You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to start. If you have a story inside you, this is a place where people will cheer you on and help you grow. Join The Skool Bookshop here.
