Topics Offered: Writing Workshops: Page has taught in over 150 venues in the U.S. and British Columbia. She often teaches "across the genres" because, whether she's talking about narrative nonfiction, memoir, or fiction, she believes that all good writing starts at the emotional root of the human experience. The content of her workshops can be customized to fit most audiences, but here are some of her favorite topics: The Pulse, Shape and Rhythm of Story Thematic Writing: In Memoir and Fiction Symbolism and Synchronicity: Recognizing the Stories of Our Lives Truth in Nonfiction Emotional Fuel: How to Keep the Creative Fires Burning The Driving Force of Character in Memoir and Fiction Creating the Writing Altar Good Writing Demands Looking from the Inside Out Writing About the Animals We Love The Business of Writing (queries, cover letters, proposals, synopses) Speaking: Page's speaking style is intimate—an emotionally "up close" experience with the audience. Whether speaking about the 12-month trip around the world she took as a teenager, rearing her son and daughter on a small ranch in Wyoming, how her father gave birth to the financial planning industry, the month she spent alone in a remote mountain cabin, or floating down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, she will invite you inside both her joy and sorrow. Here are a few of her favorite speaking topics: Writing to Save the Places We Love: Why Our Stories Matter How Our Relationship with the Land Relates to the Eco-system of the Heart Living the Writing Life The Seductive Nature of Nature Sweetwater: A Mountain Cabin, A Life Unfolding The Courageous Art of Being Human Landscape as Home Living a Passionate Life Creative Gifts: How They Shape Our Collective Destiny
