We’ve lived exciting lives, seen so much change in our culture and society, the business world, and now technologies we only imagined in the science fiction stories of our childhood. Mary Ellen Humphrey and Robyn Near Albright will share their writing experiences and their own story telling passion.

Do you want to leave a record about your life for your loved ones when you’re gone. Come see how we’ve done that for ourselves and for others.

Do you have a unique perspective you want to share. Maybe you’ve got a great novel idea. Whatever your story is, join us and learn how to make it a reality.

Mary Ellen Humphrey

This workshop is open to everybody, of any age, and at any level of writing experience. It’s the story that’s important. “We’ll show you how we did it, how easy it is with technology, and how inexpensively you can make your story a reality.”

Humphrey, M.Ed., has been writing and publishing books for over 30 years. “Write from your heart and you will touch your readers’ heart” is her motto. A few years ago, she relocated to be near her family and now resides in Westfield. She will debut her two new novels, “Plant People” and “Keepers.” She is the Director of the Writing Program for Lake Shore Center for the Arts with the vision to create a supportive and nurturing writing community.

Albright has written Jump on the Runnin’ Board, a memoir, as well as numerous other writing projects. She currently serves as editor of the Ripley Library and Town newsletters, has been a regular newspaper columnist, and is working on a new novel, yet to be titled.
