Rebecca’s Expertise

Creative writing is my passion, especially personal narrative, memoir, and narrative fiction. Storytelling, whether personal or professional, is a vital part of human consciousness and communication. Stories promote empathy and broaden our worlds as well as our minds in ways no other medium can. Stories help us find and define our place in the world.

In addition to editing for a small literary journal and working with students on creative narratives, I spent several years mentoring women writers in Afghanistan and coaching them through the development, writing, and revision of their often devastating personal stories. I also worked with these women to publish their stories and to enter writing contests that would lead to broader exposure and wider audiences.

Let Whisper Lake Writing be your partner in writing. Narrative is how humans communicate, how we make sense of our experiences. Let Rebecca help you develop your craft, troubleshoot your roadblocks, and develop your unique voice.
