Sheila Bender

Sheila Bender, publisher of Writing It Real instructional magazine, www.writingitreal.com, is at work on “Creative Writing Demystified” for McGraw-Hill. She’s not sure anyone can accomplish such demystification, but she is positive she can teach people how to put their words on the page in a way that magic happens. Her newest book is a memoir entitled “A New Theology: Turning to Poetry in a Time of Grief.” Other books include “Writing and Publishing Personal Essays” and “A Year in the Life: Journaling for Self-Discovery.”
