Personal Writing Courses
for Everyone
Writing is therapeutic, historic, artistic, and individualistic.
It is available to literate people everywhere.
But too many of us have been shamed for not doing it well enough. (Every writer I know has that voice inside their head that says this sucks, this sucks, this sucks.) Which is a shame, because most of us have a lot to say. We all have stories that will live or die depending on what we do with them, and whether we choose to share them.
This is your invitation to tell your story. Your invitation to take your time. To think about it. To tell what needs telling. You don’t have to be a capital-W writer in order to write. All you need is a pen and paper (or a computer) and some time.
I have developed a series of courses and workshops to help you get started. (And if you’ve started and you’re stuck? These are for you too.)

Reading my grandmother’s story changed my life
She wrote it in the 1990s, but I read it 30 years later. It was 74 pages long. The moment I finished it, I wanted 74 pages from my Aunt Mary Ellen, who died in 2021. I wanted 74 pages from my Aunt Bobbie, who died in 2022. I can’t turn back the clock. But I can help other people tell their stories.
