I’m a freelance writer, and have formerly been a columnist, reporter and editor at the Wellesley Townsman. My work has appeared in many other publications, including the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Hartford Courant, Babson Magazine and Wellesley Magazine. I’ve studied with Sol Stein, Julia Cameron, Natalie Goldberg and other celebrated authors.
Over the years many people have told me they’d like to write about their lives, but they weren’t sure how, or where, to begin. I have led life-story writing workshops for small groups of emerging writers in a safe and nurturing atmosphere. Based on those workshops, Live Then Write is a six-week online writing class designed to help others who are interested in telling their stories. And we all have stories to tell!
Perhaps you are:
· In the midst of living life at full-speed-ahead and realize you’ve got some cool memories you want to savor and share with others
· Recently retired and finally have some time to focus on your life stories, or are looking for an enriching activity to enjoy
· Somewhere in between?
In any case, this is an easy path to follow. You'll learn how to capture memories and use simple writing strategies to record your stories. Hop on and take this fun and fulfilling journey with us. If you have questions please reach me at laura@livethenwrite.com. I'm always happy to chat about writing.
