Lynne Smelser
Welcome!
Writing is my passion and my career has spanned more than 15 years of publishing success. However, those years have not always been easy, which is why I now devote a portion of my professional life to coaching writers in order to help them achieve the success I have found. I provide education, motivation, and support. I hold a Ph.D. in English with a master's in professional writing, and a bachelor's in journalism.
I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to research and write on many different subjects and have been published in everything from national venues (such as Newsweek Magazine) to local ones (such as the maternity ward at Oakwood Hospital). I currently have a children's series being published and several scripts being reviewed by production companies. My recently completed stage play is being marketed.
I look forward to engaging you in discussions that will be thought provoking and relevant to today's busy professional.
Enjoy!
