Teleseminar Course Title: Playing Your Part on the World Stage: How Your Memoir Intersects with History
Take a gallop back in time, to the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with author, ghostwriter and historian Kim Pearson, and discover how you participated in and contributed to the events and trends of those times. Yes, if you were 7 or 77, what you did, thought, felt, and witnessed mattered – to history! Anchor your memoir in time with historical context, adding depth and color to help your future readers understand “where you’re coming from.”

Kim has divided history up into categories and each week we’ll explore the following in our 4 sessions:
- Economics & Politics (money and power colors everything)
- The Social Fabric (race, gender, morality – so much has changed)
- International Scene (we’re all in this together)
- Technology & Science (remember BEFORE the internet?)
What you will learn and receive from this 4-week teleseminar includes:
- The four vital reasons for writing and sharing your stories
- Kim’s simple and fun 5-step system that helps you use historical facts to give depth and context to your memoir
- Handouts (PDF) of extensive detailed timelines in each category (excerpts from Kim’s book Making History)
- Handouts (PDF) containing writing exercises — penetrating questions and suggested topics designed to get you thinking and remembering (excerpts from Kim’s book Making History). And time to do some of these exercises!
- Kim’s “Write to Remember Unrules” that jump start your writing and your memory
- Time to share your stories and listen to others share theirs.
Explore the many, many stories of our fascinating pasts – and how we ALL make up history.
We are thrilled to have Kim Pearson joining us to present this very popular course! Kim is the owner of Primary Sources, a writing service helping others become authors of polished and compelling books, blogs and articles.
