“I wrote
Words at Work to help people tap into their creativity and write with more confidence,” Lynda says. “I’ve been teaching writing since 2006, and I’m always struck by the number of people who struggle with their writing, held back by fear and dread. I also recall from the early days of my own long writing career how often I experienced those same feelings--and how I overcame them.
Words at Work shares those tools and techniques so that you too can excel at your writing and your work. This book not only teaches how to write, but helps readers tap into their creativity—and there’s no telling where that can lead.”
In 2006, I began teaching and speaking about writing. I've helped hundreds of executives and staff write more effectively and start/finish/publish their books. My clients and students hail from organizations such as Microsoft, Visa, The Boeing Company, Del Monte, T-Mobile, Key Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, City of Seattle, YMCA, American Society of Training and Development, U.S. Small Business Administration, University of Washington, University of Puget Sound, Stanford University, First Choice Health, American Society of Safety Engineers, and American Society of Women Accountants.
Writing credits I've written 14 books, including my latest Amazon Bestseller "Write Your Book Now!" with co-author Virginia McCullough. I also wrote award-winning "Words at Work" (which took top honors from the National Best Books Awards) and "Contemporary Hawaii Woodworkers" (winning two awards).
I spent years writing for major magazines and newspapers--writing as many as 1,200+ feature articles for major publications such as Southern Living, Country Living, Yoga Journal, Law & Politics, Associations Now, Advancing Philanthropy, American Cinematographer, AmericanStyle, NICHE, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Charlotte Observer, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, beliefnet.com, guideposts.com, and washingtonpost.com.
