C.S. Lakin Bio: I’m a novelist, a copyeditor, a writing coach, a mom, a backpacker, and a whole bunch of other things. I love keeping busy, but I especially love writing, teaching, and helping writers. I’m the fiction track director at the prestigious San Francisco Writers’ Conference. I teach workshops on writing craft at writers’ conferences and retreats around the country. If your writers’ group would like to have me teach, drop me a line. I live in California, near San Francisco, just so you know how far away I am from you and your writer friends. I also have online video courses on writing, editing, and marketing.
