Click to RegisterEvery life is a story and each of us is the storyteller. Join workshop instructor Mark McNease for six weeks of guided writing, reflection, and connection as we explore the chapters of our lives, from earliest memories to the pages still being written.
Each week brings a new theme: family, turning points, work and purpose, love and loss, and the road ahead. No writing experience is required—just a readiness to remember, write, reflect, and share.
What to expect
Guided prompts each week to spark your memory
A small, supportive circle — share as much or as little as you like
No critique, no judgment — just your story, in your wordsLed by Mark McNease, Certified Guided Autobiography Instructor, workshop facilitator, author, and publisher. Read more about his workshops at YourWritePath.com.

A Twofer Book Reading with Author Kim Cook

Another good book reading
I did another two-author book reading yesterday in Lambertville, with Kim Cook. I ghost wrote her memoir, I Am My Father’s Child: A True Story of History, Mystery, Betrayal, and Forgiveness, and we discovered after doing this at Read Mill Books in Clinton, NJ, that people liked hearing about our working process. It was always supposed to be just Kim, since I’m now promoting her book and working with her on other pojects, but things sometimes go in unexpected direction.

On May 3rd, 2026, in Lambertville, New Jersey, two authors came together for an afternoon of storytelling, craft, and memoir. Mark McNease shared excerpts from Blank Page to Bookshelf: From First Sentence to First Sale — his guide to fiction writing, character creation, and self-publishing — and Kim Cook shared from her powerful memoir, I Am My Father’s Child: A True Story of History, Mystery, Betrayal, and Forgiveness. Keep watching for a video excerpt from that event.
