YOUR STORY, OUT LOUD
Your Story, Out Loud
For Women 55+ Ready to Write Their Story
Write the Story You’ve Been Carrying
A practical guide for women who are finally ready to stop wondering and start writing.
If you’ve been thinking about writing for years—but haven’t started—or you’ve begun and stopped more times than you can count, this guide is for you.
I wrote my first novel at 73.
Not because I finally had a perfect plan.
Because I finally stopped waiting.
Your Story, Out Loud is the guide I wish someone had handed me before I wrote my first page.
It isn’t about writing rules or complicated systems. It’s about finding your story, building a writing rhythm that fits your life, and having the confidence to keep going.
Inside You’ll Learn How To:
● Discover the story you’re really trying to tell
● Build a writing practice that fits your life
● Stop waiting for confidence before you begin
● Use AI as a thinking partner without losing your own voice
● Move from scattered ideas to a manuscript, one writing session at a time
You don’t need more time.
You don’t need another writing class.
You need a clear path forward.
What You’ll Find Inside
Nine practical chapters, simple exercises, thoughtful worksheets, and encouragement every step of the way.
You’ll move from:
“I’ve been thinking about writing for years.”
to
“I’m writing my book.”

About Marylee
I’m Marylee Pangman.
I wrote my first novel at 73.
No MFA. No agent. No roadmap.
Just a story I couldn’t ignore any longer.
Today I’m the author of Whispers of Echo Canyon and I’m writing the second novel in my five-book Women of the Canyon series.
I’m still learning every day.
But I know one thing with certainty:
It’s never too late to begin.
Not Sure Which Story You’re Meant to Write?
If you’re still trying to figure out what story you’ve been carrying—or what’s been keeping you stuck—the Story Clarity Audit is a better place to begin.
Through a guided questionnaire and a personalized written review, I’ll help you discover the story that’s asking to be written and give you a clear path forward.
Then come back to Your Story, Out Loud when you’re ready to write it.
A Few Practical Questions
How long will this take?
Most people read it over a weekend, but you’ll likely start writing long before you finish.
Is this a course or community?
No. It’s a self-paced guide you can return to whenever you need it.
What if it isn’t right for me?
Just email me. I’ll gladly refund your purchase. I’d rather you try than spend another year wondering.
