Book cover of Write Your Life by Maya Calica Collins
hey there!

Are you ready to start your memoir?

Have you been wanting to write a memoir, but always felt too overwhelmed or unqualified for the task? My new eBook, Write Your Life: 7 Days to Capture Your Childhood, One Story at a Time is a tiny book about starting a memoir that’s perfect even if you don’t consider yourself a writer. Thanks to my fun prompts and done-for-you story templates, writing will feel like child’s play! Check out the Free Kindle Book Preview below.

Welcome to
the 3-Minute Storyteller

Hi, I’m Maya. I’m an author, art teacher, illustrator, and animator.
Storytelling is my jam. You probably found me through a 3-minute animated video I posted on social media. Or not.

It doesn’t matter. I’m just happy you’re here. If you love reading, listening, or telling stories, please stick around. My hope is to share the joy of storytelling with women who’ve always wanted to write their stories but never felt brave enough to.

If this sounds like you, come join me!

P.S. Check out how I used to be as a storyteller in the video below.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

I’m so thrilled that Maya is releasing Write Your Life as a book. It started as an online course with thoughtful prompts and charming illustrations so you can look back at your life and find meaning in its twists and turns, its ups and downs. This book is an indispensable guide to writing the story of your life—whether it’s a memoir for future publication or as a gift for yourself and your children.

Maya is a delightful resource and a proactive mentor to the young writers in our program. She fully supported our project and went above and beyond what we asked of her. After her first talk, the participants were motivated to complete their books and share them with an audience. In addition, the same participants looked forward to her next session because they knew they would gain valuable insight from a seasoned author and illustrator.

Maya is a wonderful collaborator and a superb instructor for writing workshops. She ensures that the learning environment is a safe space for her students to converse and understand each other. The Writing from your Memories” workshop we had with her as an instructor had two runs because of the positive reviews the participants provided. Expect to improve your writing skills and learn more about yourself when you encounter her in a workshop or through her work.
