Hello – and welcome to Main Street Writers!

I am a writer and a teacher. My Creative Writing practice is based on the conviction that everyone has a voice, and everyone has stories to tell.

I bring this approach into classrooms – pre-school through high school – and into Creative Writing workshops for adults.

My work builds on Pat Schneider‘s collaborative-based approach to building skills and confidence as writers – with people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

If you like to write – if you would like to try writing – come visit a workshop. See how it feels to explore new approaches to writing in the company of fellow writers.

• You can find pieces written by Main Street Writers here.
• You can read about Main Street Writers’ writing endeavors here. 
• You can read about the Friday Notebook Projects – our school and community writing programs – here.
• And you can learn about the Tanya Fund: an Endowment for Writers, which enables more people to attend a workshop,  here.
