A WRITERS’ HOUR—during the Pandemic, 2020
PROMPT! — an online writing course
THE DAILY MUSE (thedailymuse.me); A Webinar – in 30 day modules – that I created and led for writers around the world.
For the past 25 years I have created and led writing classes, workshops and retreats in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, Mendocino, New York, Boston, as well as in Mexico and Costa Rica.
I have had private coaching clients in every walk of life all over the world: from CEOs of Fortune 500 Companies to teenagers in prison, from senior citizens to Academy Award-winning film directors, from Emmy and Tony Award-winning writers to absolute beginners.
I have mid-wifed and edited countless projects in various genres–memoir, fiction,
non-fiction–to completion.
I attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
