Hi, I’m Alisha.

I’m writing a memoir too.

And like a lot of people who decide to turn their life into a book, I quickly discovered that remembering what happened was the easy part. Figuring out what belonged, where to begin, how to structure it, and how to turn real life into an actual story was much harder.

So I started studying how great memoirs work—pulling apart the craft, looking for the patterns underneath it, and creating practical tools to use in my own writing.

Making Memoir grew out of that process.

Everything you’ll find here comes from the things I’m learning, testing, and building along the way. I’m not here to stand at the front of the room pretending I have all the answers. I’m in the messy middle of writing a book too.

I just happen to really love figuring out how the machinery works—and turning what I learn into something the rest of us can actually use.

If you’re writing your memoir too, I’d love to have you along!
