ABOUT WENDY DALE

Wendy Dale is the author of The Memoir Engineering System, the result of 15 years of research analyzing thousands of texts to deduce the principles that all memoirs rely on. Her own memoir, Avoiding Prison and Other Noble Vacation Goals, was published by Three Rivers Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House. 

 

She is the creator of Write or Flight, the world's first reality show for writers and is also the co-writer of the Emmy-nominated TV special, The New Adventures of Mother Goose. 

 

Some of the organizations Wendy's students have worked for include Entertainment Weekly, Outside Magazine, Simon & Schuster, Seal Press, Wiley, NBC, National Geographic Wild, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and the New York Times. 

 

Wendy currently lives with her husband and two bunnies in Cusco, Peru.

Wendy is the best instructor I've had, bar none. She continually pushes you and never lets you settle for good enough. She is knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and has an excellent sense of humor! I would take a class again with her any time.

Wendy is phenomenal! I've taken dozens of writing courses and completed an MFA in creative writing. Never have I received such useful instruction. I'm happy that I'll be starting her advanced course next week.

Taking Wendy Dale’s class on structure was the best decision I’ve ever made when it comes to learning my craft. Excellent in every way, I highly recommend this course for those who are serious about writing a memoir.
