Welcome to Fairytale Lens!
Once upon a time, you were dropped into a story you didn’t choose. Maybe the “safe” places weren’t safe. Maybe the people who should’ve protected you became the villains.
And yet—you’re here. Still standing. Still seeking meaning. Still holding a story that deserves to be told.
That’s where the Fairytale Lens comes in.
As Francine Prose wrote in The New York Times Book Review:
Memoirs are our modern fairy tales....The autobiographer is faced with
the daunting challenge of attempting to understand, forgive, and even love the witch…”
The Fairytale Lens is a way of seeing your life as more than a series of painful events. It’s a magic mirror for memoir-writing—helping you reframe your past as an epic tale of survival, transformation, and courage.
“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we will ever do.” —Brené Brown
Writing your memoir can help you:
Reframe your past. See your experiences through a mythic, empowering lens.
Release shame. Understand your story in a bigger, braver context.
Find your voice. Tell your truth with courage and clarity.
Connect with others. Share your story so someone else knows they’re not alone.
Leave a legacy. Create a time capsule of truth, wisdom, and lived experience.
You don’t need a degree, a publishing contract, or a perfect “happy ending” to write a memoir that matters. You just need to start.
The Fairytale Lens is here for survivors, truth-tellers, and late bloomers ready to step out of the woods and claim their own “happily ever after.”
