Take the Journey...

Our writing workshops are collaborative spaces designed to give both emerging and experienced writers a creative outlet.

You will get the pen on the page, set your own pace, and improve your craft through guidance and support. You will also connect with like-minded writers, and many will form bonds that will last a lifetime.

Take the journey, and together we will grow, learn, share, and inspire one another.

A little about me...

I have been a journalist, author, storyteller, and editor on Long Island for over 35 years. After graduating from Binghamton University with a BA in Creative Writing, I worked for many magazines and publications including Newsday, Dan's Paper, LI Pulse, Times Beacon Record, Hampton Family, my own weekly called North Fork Living, and too many others to list. I also wrote a local history book Images of America: Long Island's North Fork and published a young adult novel BLackthorn Island.

My passion is helping aspiring writers master their craft and inspiring them to tell their story. Writing is a creative journey, a medium to express in words what is coming from the heart, mind, and soul.
