Write From the Heart (WFTH) creator Melissa Greene is resuming her private creative writing sessions face-to-face in Lancaster. Held in a relaxed, artistic setting, they offer stress-free inspiration for beginning writers of all ages, as well as thoughtful, professional insight for those with works in progress. She also provides college essay support for teens.

Greene is a full-time writer, mentor and expressive writing teacher. She collaborates with schools and therapists, and leads writing workshops for cancer patients at the Penn Medicine/Lancaster General Health Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute and the Mcglinn Cancer Institute at Reading Hospital, in Reading. All other WFTH group workshops will continue on Zoom.

Since 2001, Greene’s uplifting, be-who-you-are workshops have awakened the creative spirit, gently, with humor and warmth. Her classes help even the most timid students relax and find their own voice, with no grades, tests or anxiety. She says, “What stops many of us from enjoying our writing is perfectionism and self-doubt.”
