If writing was easy, everyone would be doing it. But the long hours spent
at a computer are often fraught with anxiety, uncertainty, and tough
choices.
Jessica Page Morrell believes that writers need solid and concise
information that they can immediately put to use, proven strategies to
jump start their careers, and inspiration to keep going when a manuscript
bogs down. Her workshops aim to increase a writer's chances of getting
published; suggest ways of succeeding at the writing life; ignite
creativity; and help writers navigate the evolving marketplace.
Since she began teaching writers in 1991 and editing in 1995, many of her
students and clients have gone on to publish their work. Her workshops
are lively, focused, and filled with practical insights. Her classes and
workshops have been offered through writing conferences, college
programs, through her own venue, and on-line at iVillage.com. While serving as the
Writing Expert at iVillage.com, one of the world's largest and most
influential web sites, her content was voted by Writer's Digest as one of
101 Best Sites for Writers.
Workshop and writing conference participants have described her as: "a
torrent of information," "lots of practical information with excellent
concrete examples," and "Absolutely everything she says is packed with
value." She also teaches at corporations and speaks for writers groups
and various conferences around the country.
She is the author of Between the Lines: master the subtler aspects of
writing fiction published by Writer's Digest Books, The I Ching
Writer's Companion with coauthor Elaura Niles published by Running
Press in September 2006, Voices from the Street based on interviews
with homeless people in Portland, Oregon and Writing Out the Storm,
Collectors Press and four booklets on writing.
Morrell works as writing coach and freelance editor and book doctor.
She's been writing a monthly column about topics related to which
currently appears in The Willamette Writer, writes a monthly newsletter,
The Writing Life, a web log, thewritinglifetoo.blogspot.com and
contributes articles to on-line sites, newspapers, and public radio.
