Wendy created this system after analyzing over a thousand memoir manuscripts to discover the secret underlying code that all memoirs share. The result was her book The Memoir Engineering System.

As a memoir-writing coach, Wendy works with beginners and writing pros. Wendy’s clients have come from organizations such as Entertainment Weekly, Outside Magazine, Simon & Schuster, Seal Press, Wiley, NBC, National Geographic Wild, Nickelodeon, TNT, the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, the New York Post and the New York Times.
