Writer, speaker, teacher, coach and intuitive.

The two images you see here represent me at this stage of my life. I have taken on a new role as Chair of the Board of a NY nonprofit for women writers - The International Women's Writing Guild (IWWG). What I love about our logo is that the woman writer we serve comes with or without portfolio, from here in the US or from Africa, Asia, Europe or elsewhere in the world. She might be a teenager seeking a writing mentor or a wise women who holds the cultural ethos and truth of her community. Writing is a passion for me and so is the IWWG. I invite you to learn more about the IWWG, check out the course offerings, attend a free event, and be supported as you deepen both your creativity and your craft.

My latest book, The Collection: Flash Fiction for Flash Memory, is a project of the heart – a call to action to get out and read to those who might be unable to read longer pieces because of memory loss. I loved writing my flash fiction piece inspired by my niece Caitlin.

I’ve taught workshops in creative writing, the power of the first chapter for fiction, how to create a successful anthology and more. My articles have been published in Canada’s ALIVE magazine and Australia’s THE SPHERE, been featured on ABC News in Green Bay, WI and quoted in the Huffington Post.

​As a Metaphysical Minister, I hold online Sunday morning meditations. Those meditations are available to anyone here:  https://www.cathleenoconnor.com/meditations

Writing Students Guide!

I make my home in Westchester County, NY and I know that preparing Westchester County's students in the field of writing is essential to their career success in journalism, editing, and education. 

​TheBestColleges.org have created a guide to programs for writing students. It covers core concerns and considerations for those looking to enter the field, including specializations, program options, and job outlook. 

This amazing resource for students, Writing Degree Program Fundamentals, is available by clicking the link shown here. Please share:
