Join me as I host a week of Worldwrights in Conversation
December 9 - 13, live online, I'll be interviewing five outstanding author-activists on Writing to Right the World
I am so thrilled to be hosting in conversation, on the Humanity Rising platform, five of the outstanding writer-activists I call “worldwrights”: authors whose purposeful writing is matched by their powerful work in the world.
Writing and sharing our stories is essential to the collective project of making our world better.
The worldwrights I’ll be interviewing—Maria Sirois, Nina Simons, Manda Scott, Cynthia Jurs and Osprey Orielle Lake—write essays, memoir and fiction, deeply exploring their visions of how we can co-create the thriving future we yearn for.
Please join us online, December 9 – 13 from 11 am – 12:30 pm Eastern, for a series of thoughtful, stimulating conversations on the writing, activism and life experiences of these extraordinary contemporary worldwrights.
The live online series is free and there is no need to pre-register—just click on the graphics below to be taken directly to the livestream platform.
There will be time each day for Q&A, so join us live to get into the conversation!

Cultivate your creativity with one of my writing workshops!
My writing workshops in purposeful memoir are intended as creative recharges, a chance to learn and grow with kindred spirits in nurturing places.
I have several opportunities coming up, locally in the Berkshires, online or internationally.
Explore the garden of your life in a special writing workshop series at the Berkshire Botanical Garden this winter!
Come meet other writer-gardeners and brighten up the winter season with the creative bloom of memoir writing in good company!
We’ll meet on four Wednesday mornings, January 29 - February 19, on the lovely campus of the Berkshire Botanical Garden, for a series of memoir writing workshops taking off on the theme of gardening.
Come write and speak your truth with me in this powerful four-session Bioneers Learning online class!
In this hands-on class hosted by Bioneers Learning, we’ll look deeply at some of the major social and environmental issues of our time and consider how outstanding leaders have used creative expression to make a difference.
Inspired by these models, you’ll work on expressing your own ideas with confidence, clarity, and eloquence, in both writing and public speaking, coming away with a portfolio of writing, a recorded talk, and a circle of kindred spirits cheering you on.
Four Fridays, Feb. 28 - March 21, 2025, live online from 12 - 1:30 pm with recordings available.

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.
What a wonderful offering. I've got at least two of the sessions blocked on the calendar.
I will be there on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately, I have appointments at 11:00 on Monday-Wednesday. I’m looking forward to this.
