Lynn Braz, M.A., Creative Writing
For more than 25 years I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with amazing clients—writing and editing books, newsletters, media kits, speeches, website copy, and so much more. I’ve traveled the world collecting and creating stories and weaving them into feature articles and travel blogs. I teach writing/editing for digital media and copyediting for the University of California San Diego. When I’m not writing, editing, or teaching, I’m often in yoga or flying trapeze classes or mucking stalls and spoiling mini pigs and the nearly 200 other rescued beloved animals at Indraloka Animal Sanctuary in Dalton, PA.

“I thoroughly enjoy Life Advice. I began to receive it when my husband passed in 1993. It was so appropriate and appreciated at that time. There are many time-worthy articles including those not addressing grief. I find the articles in your issues that have been useful to my friends and have passed it on to them. THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE.”
