Writing From Life Writing From Life: Telling Your Soul's Story,
by Susan Wittig Albert

Written by Story Circle Network founder and past-president of the Board of Directors, Susan Wittig Albert, Writing From Life: Telling Your Soul's Story is a guided writing program that was written for every woman who longs to tell her soul's story, and who might benefit from some encouragement, many examples, and over 200 pages of ideas about how to get started.

If you do each of the guided writings, you will have written a book—a book of over a hundred pages of your own personal narrative. Writing From Life invites you to find your authentic voice and celebrate its song—the exciting, sad, dramatic, everyday, heroic, comic stories you have to tell. It also invites you to share your stories with other women, in Story Circles that meet to write and talk.
