What if your memoir isn't meant to be told in order?
Memory doesn't work chronologically. It's triggered by sensory details, emotional echoes, and unexpected connections. The most powerful memoirs often mirror how we actually think and remember, organizing around theme and resonance instead of time.
In this 90-minute live webinar, you'll learn how to break free from chronology and let your memoir's deeper themes drive the structure. We'll explore braided structures that weave multiple storylines together and associative structures that connect scenes through emotional logic rather than "and then, and then."
You'll discover how to create associative links that feel organic, how to justify structural choices to readers so they trust where you're taking them, and how to use time anchors and signposts to keep readers oriented in nonlinear narratives. Includes hands-on exercises to work on at home.
This webinar is for you if your memoir feels flat despite strong material, if you're stuck organizing everything chronologically because you don't know alternatives, or if you want practical tools for experimenting with nonlinear structures.
Includes live Q&A and a recording you can revisit for 90 days.
