Your story could change someone's life-if you write from your own experience but for and toward your reader. Expert teacher and mentor Joanne Fedler shows you how in this no-excuses guide.
Joanne Fedler is the author of nine books in genres from literary and commercial fiction to self-help to narrative nonfiction and memoir. Some have been international bestsellers. Her books have sold over 600,000 copies worldwide and been translated into several languages. Growing up in South Africa under apartheid, Joanne spent years as an advocate working to end violence against women. Today she is a popular speaker, writing mentor, and writing retreat leader; every year she takes a group of women to Fiji, Bali, or Tuscany to write their stories. This book is the culmination of 10 years of writing and teaching others to do the same. Websites- joannefedler.com, joannefedleryourstory.com, joannefedlerwritingretreats.com

"Your story can change someone's life. Fedler's message is a
powerful reminder that ordinary stories of growth, healing, and
transformation are the medicine this world needs now, and that each
human life has its place in the great unfolding narrative of our
planet. A book that inspires hope and teaches each of us how to use
our words to leave a legacy."

"My favorite line from any book ever is the very last line from
Charlotte's Web . . . 'It is not often that someone comes along who
is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.' . . .
which is what came to me as I dove in to the first chapters of
Your Story. Joanne Fedler is a true friend to her reader,
and an amazing writer. She is also a brilliant teacher. Get this
book if you've ever dreamed of writing a book. It will not only
elevate your spirit and teach you that your experiences, your
heart, and your soul are a rich and worthy voice-but it will show
you exactly how to capture that voice in the written word."
- Christine Kane, president and founder of Uplevel You
"Joanne Fedler is a compassionate word tour guide on the bumpy
journey into writing. Her book is a comforting companion for
writers as they navigate the joys and sorrows of their internal
landscape. Joanne understands the writer's loneliness and desperate
need for belonging. In this book, she has created a menu of
encouraging possibilities on how to overcome our fears and dig deep
into our souls, so that our true voice can emerge. Thank you,
Joanne, for reminding us that though we are writing from our story,
we are writing for others."
- Nava Semel, award-winning author and playwright
"[This book] has been life changing, perhaps one of the best books
I've ever read on writing. Now to actually do some writing!"
- Kevin Ritchie, regional Executive Editor, Gauteng &
Northern Cape, The Star, South Africa
