Two Great Workshops This Week
Pine Run Village 
The Grundy Library in Bristol, PA I had the great pleasure of doing two workshops this week. One at Pine Run Village in Doylestown, PA, as part of their Pine Run University summer series, and one at the Grundy Library in Bristol, PA, where I was invited back after last year’s fiction writing workshop. What a pleasure!

My Article ‘Beyond the Page Margins: How Writers Can Expand Our Reach, Impact & Income’ Featured in Mystery Writers of America Newsletter
I was asked to write an article for the Mystery Writers of America’s newsletter, The 3rd Degree. It’s out, and I’m so pleased. It’s about how writers can take our experience and skills and offer them ‘beyond the page margins,’ from workshops to one-on-one coaching. You can read the entire newsletter here.

New: An Introduction to Journaling Workshop Workbook
I’ve put together something new for my introductory journaling workshops: a short, focused workbook designed to guide a one-hour to 90-minute session from start to finish.
No PowerPoint slides. No lengthy Word document handout. Just a concise, easy-to-follow workbook that walks participants through the basics of starting or maintaining a journaling practice—with room to actually write as we go through the workbook.
It’s built to be the core of the workshop itself, and something people can take home still holding the ideas and their own first pages.
I’ll be using it this month at Pine Run Village in Doylestown, and the Bristol, PA library in August. And it’ll serve as a calling card for future workshops as well. I might even use it to pitch to a cruise line! Free cruise, cabin for two, and a workshop ideally suited to the demographic on a cruise.

Journaling Workshop at the Grundy Library, August 1 (Bristol, PA)
I was delighted to hear from the Grundy Library again. I did a fiction writing workshop there a year ago, and I’ve been invited back for a journaling workshop in August. I love libraries!

Coming Up September 26
I’m very excited about this event. It’s not a back room at a coffee shop (and I love those too!).
I’ll be double-teaming again with author Kim Cook, whose memoir I helped write, and we’ll be joined by artist Larry Felder exhibiting his work.
