Helping You Find Your Voice, Own Your Story, and Preserve Your Legacy
Your life story is one of the most powerful gifts you can leave the world. My mission is to help you tell it with clarity, confidence, and the full sacredness it deserves.
WHO I AM
I’m Dawn James: memoir coach, award-winning author, publishing strategist, and creator of Your Memoir Blueprint.
With over 20 years of experience in writing and publishing, and more than 500 writers guided to share their stories, I bring both the passion, and the craft to memoir coaching. I know what it takes to move from “I have a story to tell” to “I have a book in my hands.”
My approach is rooted in something deeper than craft. I believe that our stories are sacred. That every life contains wisdom worth preserving. That when we find the courage to stand in our truth and write our story, we not only heal ourselves, we uplift the people who come after us.
This is how we raise the vibration of the world: one memoir, one voice, one truth at a time.
MY JOURNEY: FROM EXECUTIVE TO AUTHOR TO MEMOIR COACH
Once upon a time, I worked 70-hour weeks as a senior executive, managing a multinational company and chasing quarterly earnings. The pace took a toll on my health — until a profound spiritual awakening in 2003 changed the trajectory of my life.
That awakening gave me the gifts of empathy, compassion, and clarity. It ignited a passion for authentic storytelling and a deep desire to help others find their voice. I wrote about my journey in my award-winning autobiography, UNVEILED: Autobiography of an Awakened One (2022 Silver Award, Reader’s Favorite, Nonfiction-Spirituality).
Inspired by the late Sylvia Browne, I began writing and published the Raise Your Vibration trilogy, teaching others how to live consciously and with greater awareness. Over the next two decades, I became a sought-after publishing expert, international speaker, and the founder of Publish and Promote — a full-service publishing company supporting writers worldwide.
But it was coaching individual writers through their own stories that lit me up most. Witnessing someone discover their voice, work through their blocks, and hold their finished memoir in their hands, that became my greatest calling and joy.
In 2025, I formalized that calling with the launch of Your Memoir Blueprint: a proven 2-step system helping ordinary people write extraordinary memoirs in 60 days.

THE YOUR MEMOIR BLUEPRINT MOVEMENT
Your Memoir Blueprint is more than a program. It’s a movement.
We believe that every life contains history worth preserving. That grandparents, parents, survivors, changemakers, and everyday people hold wisdom that future generations desperately need. And that when those stories go untold, they are lost forever.
Through free workshops, live coaching, and the 60-day Blueprint system, we are building a global community of legacy storytellers — preserving wisdom, honouring truth, and shaping the future one memoir at a time.
“Every story matters. Every voice counts. Let’s ensure history is told by us, in our own words.” — Dawn James
WHAT I BELIEVE
Your story is sacred.
Finding your voice is an act of courage and an act of service.
When you write your truth, you honour your journey and illuminate a path for others.
Preserving your story is one of the greatest gifts you can give your family, your community, and future generations.
Writing your memoir is not about being a professional writer. It is about being brave enough to say: my life mattered, and here is what I learned.
