Your life Story Deserves to Be Told

Hi, I’m Dr. Flora Brown

Certified Guided Autobiography Facilitator, lifelong educator, and author of 15+ books.

When I began to write my life story, I thought it would be a snap.

After all, I've had many decades of teaching and writing experience.

But that's not the case because even seasoned authors fear fallout from revealing family secrets, exposing mistakes, or portraying others in an unflattering light.

In addition, we must all decide where to begin, what to leave in, what to disguise, and how to be honest without being cruel.

Once realizing this, I developed techniques that worked for me, and I expect to work well for you, whether you're a beginner or experienced writer.

Now I use what I've learned to help memory keepers like you finally write the stories that matter most. Whether you want to capture family traditions, reflect on life’s turning points, or simply preserve the memories that shaped you, I’m here to help you get it done in a way that feels clear, personal, and deeply meaningful.

You don’t need to be a “writer.” You don’t need a perfect memory or a polished outline. You just need a little guidance, a simple starting point, and a welcoming space to begin.

In every workshop, course, and resource I offer, I combine easy techniques with encouragement so you never feel lost or alone in the process. Together, we’ll find the stories that want to be told and give them the attention they deserve.

Wherever you are in your storytelling journey, there’s a path here for you.

Whether you’re just starting to explore the idea of writing your life story, ready to dive into a mini course or workshops, or looking for support on what you’ve already started to write...I’ve created simple, supportive options to meet you right where you are.

"Before I took Flora's course, I had started my life story about a year ago.  It was buried in a folder on my computer and I was stuck getting back to it....with the support and connection to like-minded aspirants, I have not only returned to writing my life story, I now have the tools and confidence to complete it."

"Before the class, I was having trouble with just sitting down and writing. Since taking this class, I feel more motivated to write at least 1-3 times per week. The class helped me to see the importance of doing it and the pleasure of having a finished story to read.

"What a truly memorable day you gave all of us. You are organized, respectful, incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and an absolute delight. I feel honored to have been taught by you today. I wrote about an experience I've not shared before because you made the group so safe. "
