Writing From Your Deepest Source

Author Amy Oestreicher

Topic: Through Insight and self-understanding, you can make words leap from the page

Through Amy’s four skills to resilience, you will find your authentic voice along with an honest, organic way to express yourself in writing.

Those skills include writing exercises to stimulate creativity and storytelling, learning to structure the narrative in a compelling way, discovering ways to create spontaneously, utilizing tools to release yourself from the inner critic and transform your ideas into marketable creative writing.

You’ll also learn by using a ‘Detourist’ tool how to gather your thoughts in a story you need to tell.

The author has given four TEDx talks on transforming trauma through creativity and contributed to NBC’s Today, CBS, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen Magazine, The Washington Post, Good Housekeeping and MSNBC.

Her plays have been published internationally and performed by theatres, students and cultural organizations nationwide. She is an Audie award nominated playwright.

Amy has recently published her CT Press Club Award-winning memoir, Beautiful Detour: An Unthinkable Journey from Gutless to Grateful.
