Voiced Life workshops promote self-discovery and story sharing through the creative power of writing and book arts, in a safe and encouraging environment. We help families capture their stories across generations and encourage individuals to articulate, in their own words, who they are and who they want to be.


New offering! Online writing community

I'm really excited to be one of ten teaching artists in the Loft's new online writing community, Lit!Commons, launching April 2. We'll be offering weekly asynchronous lessons and live zoom sessions to help you meet your writing goals and connect with other writers.

I am “The Muse,” and I’ll help you expand your creativity with prompts and new writing techniques. Of course, there's so much more, including:

  • building a productive writing practice with the Catalyst, Art Coulson

  • fiction with the Storyteller, Shannon Gibney

  • narrative nonfiction and memoir with the Vocalist, Sun Yung Shin

  • poetry with the Poet, Kathryn Kysar

  • children's and young adult lit with the Inner Child, Ty Chapman

  • revising with the Revisionary, Erin Sharkey

  • publishing with the Navigator, Savannah Brooks

  • marketing with the Builder, Rachel Werner

  • connecting with others with the Networker, Allison Wyss

But you don't have to choose a single path. When you join the community at a monthly (or annual) subscription, you have access to everything!

Each week, each teaching artist offers a new lesson you can review in your own time and a live zoom meeting, hosted by the teaching artist, for shared writing, Q&As, feedback, and more!

BONUS: Meet all of us in a free sampler class on goal setting. Take the class at your own pace!

Story by Story: 15 Projects to Write Your Family Legacy

Family stories help us understand who we are, where we’ve come from, and where we’re going. Strengthening family bonds across generations, they remind us that we will be remembered. Anyone can capture their family stories, and Brenda Hudson makes it easy and fun with Story by Story: 15 Projects to Write Your Family Legacy.
