What's better than some GAB stories? Lots of GAB stories!

It's one of my favorite days of the year. 🥰 Gathering current and former Guided Autobiography students for a morning of sharing stories, connecting with fellow life-story writers and having fun is one of the most meaningful experiences I can share.

This year, I'm so excited to offer Story-Fest here in the Seattle area. There are a few tickets still available. See link in bio to register.

Join me for the foundational 8-week Guided Autobiography course at Bellevue College.

Ever think about writing your life story but not sure where to start? Have you considered sharing parts of your family history, culture or personal stories with your loved ones?

Guided Autobiography (or "GAB" for short) is a meaningful way to begin. Meet once a week and write two pages at a time. No prior writing experience is necessary.

Registration for the Bellevue College course closes one week prior to class start.

Hello! I'm Amy Chen, a Guided Autobiography instructor in the Seattle area. I started this platform to explain more about what I do as an instructor and hoped to share how meaningful the GAB process can be.

I had a dream of sharing Guided Autobiography with students of all ages, and thus GAB Seattle was created. I'm the lead instructor and currently offer Guided Autobiography at Bellevue College as an 8-week course.

I credit being a GAB student first before becoming an instructor for really informing how I teach. I took my first class when my son was born, thinking two pages a week sounded manageable and a few hours at class might be a welcome break too. Little did I know how much I would come to love that class.. or how quickly time flies--my son is 10 now!

Outside of teaching, I love to share
● local literary gems & events -- Seattle is one of only two Cities of Literature in the US!
● writing prompts and tips
● community stories & insights from the larger GAB community

Thanks for following along! 🖤 I'm so happy you're here.

A big thank you for Teacher Appreciation week! 💓

Becoming a Guided Autobiography instructor has been such a life gift and I wouldn't have gotten here without the help of others.

Before becoming an instructor I was a GAB student for many years and my instructor Pam Hueckel was such an amazing example for me to follow. During my instructor certification, I had and Heidi Thorsen, and the incomparable Cheryl Svensson to teach me. Emma was always a guiding light as I was getting started.

I'm so thankful for these individuals as they helped me expand my Guided Autobiography practice in the Seattle area.

Happy New Year's everyone!✨️ #2025

Winter registration now open! 🚀

Have you ever thought about sharing your life stories but didn't know how to begin? Or have you wanted to preserve some of your family histories for future generations?

Guided Autobiography can be one meaningful way to begin.

Rather than recording one line a day or responding to an email, Guided Autobiography (or "GAB" for short) allows you to share your story in a small-group setting with respect and encouragement.

Learn more about this researched method and its proven benefits of sharing your life story.

Five, eight and 10-week courses available.

See GABSeattle.com for more info.
