LaRee Bryant - Author / Editor

A writer’s job is not over just because the final page of the story has been written. Join us for a heart-to-heart talk about author responsibility when that first-draft manuscript is finally done. LaRee Bryant is a New York-multi-published writer and also an indie author who has penned historicals, mysteries, and non-fiction how-to books. She’s also a well respected freelance editor for multi-published authors, self-published writers, and new writers hoping to be published. When not submersed in her own writing, LaRee has taught writing classes for decades, everything from “The Business Side of Writing” to a full array of lessons on the creative elements of fiction writing.
