Hi, I'm Joyce Boatright.

My greatest honor is bearing witness to people writing the stories of their lives.

I believe everyone is a natural storyteller - it is encoded in our DNA.  My job is to help people identify the stories that have given their life meaning - from personal memories and life lessons to eyewitness accounts of historical events - so they are not lost to future generations.

I have a baccalaureate in journalism and a doctorate in education, which means I know how to write, and I know how to teach.  Participants say I am the kind of teacher they wish they'd had years ago, meaning I am more intent in guiding people to write with their hearts than I am red-lining their grammar mistakes.

I have been teaching creative nonfiction, memoir, and life-writing for self-awareness and personal development for several decades.  My own writing has earned its place in literary journals and national anthologies, most recently in Kitchen Table Stories, The Story Manadla: Finding Wholeness in a Divided World, and Real Women Write: Living on COVID Time.
