Memoir writers often believe the heros journey doesn't apply to their narrative because of these 3 common misconceptions.

I'm Louisa, I'm a storytelling coach, author, educator, and creative entrepreneur. I teach storytelling in personal narrative in my signature programme, The Art of Memoir. I've also written two memoirs using the hero's journey and other storytelling principles specifically for personal narrative. I'm passionate about educating writers about the business of traditional book publishing, and empowering writers to write better stories from seeing their narrative with clarity, ease, objectivity and empowerment.
