The clarity, support, and structure you need to finally write your book.

Grab 1:1 Coaching bundle

   ave you been sitting on an idea for a book for years, or have a handful of chapters written, but are stuck without a clue on how to develop and finish the damn book?

H

You’re not stuck from a lack of talent or drive or because your ideas lack magic—you’re stuck because you don’t have the clear structure to nurture your voice and write your book. And of course you don’t.

Growing up, we were taught to write five-paragraph essays. Not full-length books.

That’s where I come in. Because the antidote to writer’s block is structure.

Thankfully, the Incubator is the perfect solution 

designed for you.

Literally—after publishing my critically acclaimed memoir, and working with over 100 clients spanning the last six years, I consolidated everything I know into this game-changing six-week course designed to unpack your story, mine it for gold, and turn your ideas and experiences into a bestseller.

The Incubator contains video lessons, worksheets, and writing prompts, 1:1 coaching calls, and group sessions. My clients’ testimonials speak for themselves.

“Reema Zaman is a true force of inspiration... helping me unearth my most authentic voice.”

“If you have a book you’ve been yearning to write, you need her in your life.”

— Cathy de la Cruz, MFA, Penguin Random House

“This isn’t just a class—it’s a transformation. Six weeks later, I’ve assembled the first draft of a proposal.”

— Jennalyn Ponraj

The most popular option selected by over 50 clients and counting, the next LIVE Memoir Incubator with Reema takes place July 7 – August 15.

The most robust package, this intimate cohort offers six video lessons with writing prompts and worksheets, six real-time 1:1 sessions, six group coaching calls, and community accountability as you build the foundation of your memoir.

Option 2.

“Reema’s 1:1 sessions are so generous with astute feedback and rewrites... I call her ‘The Book Therapist™.’”

— Cathy de la Cruz

Have you been working on a book for years, or want to set up a new writing routine, or are slammed in your day job? The 1:1 Coaching Bundle may be the perfect fit for what you’re looking for.

You’ll get twelve hours of 1:1 coaching with me via Zoom, with lifetime access to The Memoir Incubator’s video lessons, writing prompts, and worksheets.

This format is ideal for people who have busy lives and would prefer to solely coach with me, without a writing cohort. The twelve hours can be paced however you wish.

Option 3.

“After just a couple weeks of the Memoir Incubator, I had significant foundational pieces to guide my memoir.”

— Nisha Mody

Ideal for self-starters who want to learn, write, and create on their own time… starting as soon as you hit the purchase button.

You’ll have lifetime access to all the video lessons, writing prompts, and worksheets covered in the Incubator, to guide yourself through at your own pace.

Once you’ve gone through the lessons, we’ll meet for a 1:1 coaching call to help you cement everything you’ve learned.
