Allow Me to Introduce Myself…

Hi! I’m Shari Caudron and I’m passionate about the life-changing power of personal narrative.

I believe stories are the most powerful things we possess. But most of us are too close to see our stories–we don’t know what they’re telling us or how to revise them for the better. I want to change that.

I see stories. That’s my superpower. And I put it to work two ways:

As a memoir coach who can help you understand, write and publish your story, and…

As a teacher, retreat guide, and mentor to women who wish to craft a new narrative for their lives going forward.

Testimonials

Michele Morris

“I couldn’t have written my memoir without Shari’s help – she taught me the important difference between journaling and memoir.

Cara Mentzel

“Without fail, even brief conversations with Shari reinvigorated my writing. She is a purveyor of confidence, clarity, and stamina. She has the insight of a skilled therapist, and the craft of a great writer. She has been a cheerleader and a teacher and a friend. And truly, what more could a writer ask for?”
