Instructor Bio: 

Miji Campbell, Author of Separation Anxiety and Creator of Write Where You Are workshops

As a kid, I'd always dreamed of being a writer, but got serious about it after I had kids of my own. Five years into motherhood, ten years into a teaching career, I began to write. Eventually, my articles were featured in magazines and newspapers. 

After several years of writing about other people's life experiences, I wanted to write about my own. I went back to university to explore life writing and memoir. I hoped to write a book. Which sounded easy at the time. 

What I did learn was how writing personal stories helped me take care of myself. They balanced and sustained me. And I began to share this experience with others, offering "write Where You Are" workshops to discover and honour the stories in each of us.
