October 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2025
Tuesdays | 6:00–7:30 pm Pacific
/ 9:00–10:30 pm Eastern
You carry a story.
It lives within you—
a tapestry woven from the quiet strength found after loss, addiction, illness, or a profound life shift that reshaped your perspective.
You’ve done the hard work of healing. And now, a new feeling stirs: a sacred call to share what you’ve learned.
You think to yourself, could my story be a guidepost for someone else on a similar difficult path?
But now you’re standing in that frustrating in-between— the story lives in you, but it won’t come out clearly.
Journals pile up—drafts stall.
And then the doubt begins to whisper:
Who am I to write a memoir?
Is it too late?
Does my story even matter?
You’re not alone in thinking this way.
But here’s the truth:
Great memoirs don’t just recount an experience—
they become beacons of hope, offering wisdom through lived truth.
Think of Untamed by Glennon Doyle, Wild by Cheryl Strayed, or Dear Black Girls by A’ja Wilson.
These aren’t just stories. They’re medicine.
In this live, online course, Hierophant Publishing Senior Editor Hilary T. Smith will guide you in beginning to craft a memoir that does more than share your story—it helps others heal, grow, and rewrite their own stories.
Memoir on a Mission isn’t just another writing class. It’s a bridge between healing and contribution—a safe, structured path to share your truth with care, confidence, and purpose.
WEEK ONE
Not every part of your story needs to be told, but the right parts can change lives. This class helps you move through the initial overwhelm and clarify exactly who your story is for, and why it matters.
You’ll learn how to:
WEEK TWO
A meaningful story isn’t always linear, but it does need shape. This class gives you a clear structure to transform lived experience into a narrative that reads with clarity and purpose.
You’ll learn how to:
WEEK THREE
Memoir becomes powerful when personal healing transforms into public service. This class shows you how to write what happened, what it meant, and what it offers to others.
You’ll learn how to:
WEEK FOUR
When your story involves others, or may be seen as a guide, you need more than courage. You need an ethical framework that lets you write with both honesty and compassion.
You’ll learn how to:
“I’ve taken writing classes before—what makes this different?”
This isn’t about writing for expression. It’s about writing for contribution. You won’t just learn how to tell your story—you’ll learn how to shape it into something that helps someone else heal.
“I’m afraid of hurting people or saying too much.”
You’ll learn how to write with boundaries and integrity. We’ll never ask you to tell more than feels right.
“What if I’m not ready?”
You don’t have to tell everything. You just have to tell what matters; this class helps you discern that.

Not likely—and that’s not the goal. Memoir on a Mission isn’t about rushing to the finish line. It’s about giving you the structure, support, and clarity to begin (or begin again) with confidence.
You’ll leave with a strong foundation, a clearer sense of direction, and the tools to keep going, at your own pace.
Not at all. This course is designed for people with lived experience, not literary credentials. If you’ve journaled, reflected, or simply carried a story inside you, you already have what you need. Your truth is your authority.
You’re not alone. Many students come in with partial drafts, scattered notes, or years of emotional circling. This course provides the structure, support, and ethical clarity to finally move forward with purpose.
Hilary created Memoir on a Mission with emotional safety in mind. She won’t push you to share more than feels right. Instead, she’ll guide you to discern what’s essential and how to tell it carefully for yourself and your readers.
This is one of the most common concerns—and it’s precisely why this course exists. We’ll guide you in setting boundaries, navigating ethical storytelling, and writing your truth with compassion and care.
No. Some students write to publish, others to find closure, and many to offer their story as a private or shared resource for healing. You define what completion means to you.
