I am the owner of Joanne Matthews Consulting. I worked for Charles Schwab for 17 years in product development, marketing, executive administration, sales management.

This was a wonderful opportunity that enabled me to take my leadership and communication skills to the next level. I have a BA in Economics from UCLA, and an MBA in Marketing and Market Research from UC Davis.

I’m a certified book coach specializing in memoir and autofiction. As a writer myself, I know from firsthand experience how hard it is to write a book. And I know it’s even harder when we try to do it alone. I offer 1:1 memoir mentorship, group mentorship, and writing retreats around the world.
