You Are a Story: A guide for using creative writing to speak your own truth

You are enough. You are interesting. Tell your story. A guide and companion for using creative writing to speak your own truth.

Everybody can write. You don’t need a fancy desk; you don’t need a posh expensive pen. You don’t need a degree or to be the smartest cookie in the cookie jar. All you need is a brain and a heart. Because you are a story.

Celebrated writer Laura Dockrill knows that the best writing comes when you are speaking your own truth, with your own voice. Expressing yourself honestly is one of the best ways to know yourself and grow to celebrate the exciting, creative, unique person you are.

When you are a teenager, everything feels different. How are you supposed to figure out who you are when it seems like teachers, parents, friends, the rest of the world, are all asking you to be something else? It can be overwhelming but the best way to steer yourself through this crazy, brilliant time is to hold onto your sense of you.

Laura’s stress-free invitations to creative writing encourage you to find your voice, celebrate it and use it.
