Dialing in the great Worldwrights
We need their wisdom now!
I’ve started a new series of quotes from all my Worldwright mentors—leaders who have used writing to right the world, to make the world better.
I’ve been sharing their work with college students for more than 30 years, and in that time the world HAS changed—we’ve had some wonderful advances like gay marriage, a Black president of the US, action around climate disruption—and also a fair amount of back-sliding and resistance to forward movement.
It’s up to us now, it’s our time to step into our creative power and become the WORLDRIGHTS our world needs!
That’s why I’m offering a new live online Writing to Right the World class, starting Monday Sept. 30 at 6 pm Eastern.
The first class is on finding your purpose through exploring your passions.
Find out more here.
Sign up here; registration closes Sept. 28.
Here are the first three quotes, from Gloria Anzaldua, Audre Lorde, and V (formerly Eve Ensler), three trailblazing women activists who left breadcrumbs in the form of writing for us to follow. Get inspired!
Drumroll please…

Writing workshops you can count on to stimulate your creative spirit!
In my writing workshops, whether in-person or online, you get the benefit of my decades of teaching lively small-group, discussion-based college literature and writing classes.
My classes are interactive and thought-provoking, cultivating writing that is intuitive, generative and organic—emerging from within rather than based on an artificial structure imposed from without.
In my writers’ circles, I create a warm, welcoming atmosphere and carefully structured opportunities for instructor and peer feedback that is non-evaluative but highly effective and productive. Sharing is encouraged but always optional, and confidentiality is a must.
My students are often surprised at how much they are able to produce in my workshops, and how deeply they are able to tap their own inner reservoirs of stories, images and metaphors. Try it and see for yourself!
Friends, it’s my pleasure and my passion to support you as we stretch towards living our lives creatively and to the fullest.
The motto of my author consulting business is “Writing to Right the World,” and the motto of my book publishing business, Green Fire Press, is “Books that Make the World Better.”
If these intentions resonate with you and you are working on a book, or have one in mind, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Supporting creative people bring their work more strongly out into the world is one way I try to make the world better.
