Gathered Words: Creative writing from participants in Lynne Golodner's The Writers Community - Paperback

by Lynne Golodner (Editor)

A chorus of bold voices. A tapestry of truth, transformation, and triumph.

Gathered Words brings together the powerful and poignant writing of women from across the United States, Canada, and Scotland - members of The Writers Community, founded by award-winning author and writing coach Lynne Golodner. Born in 2020 as a haven for writers seeking meaning and connection, this global community has nurtured voices that are unafraid to speak from the heart.

In these pages, you'll discover poetry and prose that explore love and loss, family and freedom, second chances and soul-deep awakenings. Whether fiction, flash, poetry, or creative nonfiction, each piece invites readers into moments of vulnerability, courage, and celebration of what it means to be human.

This anthology isn't just a collection - it's a movement of women writers who dare to share their truths. Their words will move you, inspire you, and perhaps even call forth your own.

Contributors include:

• MerriLee Anderson, Susan P. Epstein, Eileen Fitzmaurice, Ann Goethe, Anita John, April Krassner, Wen Li, Bonnie Jess Lopane, Jessica Montague, Alyssa Musso, Claire Newman, Ciara O'Laoire, Meggie Orgain, Mandy Prell, Carol Roehrig, Kate Rosenblum, Maureen Shea, Julie Song, Deena Staples, and Barb Summers.

Born from a global writing community launched during the pandemic, Gathered Words is more than a literary collection - it's a testament to the resilience and creative spirit of women who dare to share stories from the heart that connect with the soul. Each poem, story and essay offers readers moments of beauty, vulnerability, and insight, making this anthology a must-read for anyone seeking connection and inspiration through storytelling.
