Great memoirs don’t just stop—they land. Learn how to craft conclusions that feel earned, emotionally true, and satisfying.

Endings are where memoirs earn their meaning. They show us not only what happened, but also what it all added up to—how the writer has changed, what they’ve learned, and where the story leaves them (and us). 

Yet endings are also one of the hardest parts to get right. How do we bring emotional closure without tying things up too neatly? How do we signal growth and understanding without drifting into cliché or sentimentality?

Curious what it really takes to go from an idea for a book to landing a deal with a major publisher? Join me for a behind-the-scenes conversation with my client, Oona Metz, whose book Unhitched: The Essential Divorce Guide for Women is coming out from Simon & Schuster this January.

Together, we’ll share the step-by-step process of how Oona went from spark of an idea → to writing a book proposal → to signing with an agent → to selling her book. We’ll also talk honestly about what it’s really like to write a proposal, navigate the publishing process, and bring a book into the world.

You’ll leave with insider insights, inspiration for your own project, and a clearer sense of what it takes to go from “I have an idea” to “I have a book.” We’ll wrap with Q&A so you can ask us anything about writing, proposals, or the publishing journey.

Even the strongest stories falter if the sentences don’t sing.

You’ve revised your structure, developed your characters, and deepened your themes—but you’re still wondering, is this ready to submit, or does it need more work? Perhaps the prose feels flat, predictable, or cluttered with unnecessary words. Your voice doesn’t feel powerful. It’s not just you! Most writers face this challenge after completing their macro-level revisions: the sentences themselves need work, but it’s hard to see exactly what’s wrong or how to fix it. We all need a clear framework for evaluating prose at the sentence level.

This seminar focuses on the final polish—the sentence-level work that transforms a narrative from solid to striking. We’ll tackle the specific issues that drain energy from your prose: repetitive sentence structures that lull readers to sleep, vague language that tells instead of shows, and filler words that bloat your word count without adding meaning. You’ll learn how to fine-tune syntax, word choice, rhythm, and cadence to create prose that engages, surprises, and resonates with readers on every page. 

Most importantly, you’ll develop the editorial eye to spot when your prose is polished and ready to be shared.
