First-Person Writing is all about You
If you have ever thought about writing about your life and the things and ideas that are important to you, you are a first-person writer.
Millions of readers are enamored with the personal narrative. I am too. I retired from my nursing career to study writing and earned an MFA at Bennington. Then I taught at universities and workshops for more than a decade. When an engaged voice leads a reader on an entertaining journey to a deeper understanding, the world can shift. I've helped hundreds to write their stories. You can write your life stories.
