Poignant, funny, tender, frightening insightful memories narrated in the distinctive voices of Angelenos originally from a range of contents, countries and times ... Ms. G.S., a "senior senior" still active in music, arts and literacy programs in Los Angeles, said about our new collection of memoirs:
"These words are alive!  The stories are so honest, they're really refreshing."

In our 10 week series programs, Ina is able to focus on members' work in-depth, and employ special tools to help participants help each other as well. Our students learn how to recall details, write and organize their memoirs so that they are richer, and find -- or retain -- each writers' unique voice. And we have fun in the process! Ina's publishing imprint, Pawpress, is also available as an avenue to getting your books out in print, and published in downloadable e-book form as well.  So join us if you'd like to:

• Break through writer’s block! Ina’s Weird Prompts™ and books, including “How to Write Your Memoirs” make it easy, and fun!

• Organize your ideas.

• Fire that inner critic! 

• Practice a bit of fiction to free up writing muscles.

• Create memoirs even people who are not your mother will savor!  

• Enjoy sharing your stories with people from different worlds. 

• GET PUBLISHED WITH US! Our second collection is an Amazon.com bestseller.  

• Or, get guidance on publishing yourself, and marketing your book.         

Testimonials...What people who have attended Ina's Footprints Writing Workshops say....

“Ina has the gift of getting people to open up. She got me writing in a direction I never would have gone on my own.”   Chrystine Julian, poet, "The Sensual Spirit"

"Opens the floodgates to memories long buried but not forgotten." Kay Roberts, first-time book contributor, actor and stand-up comic

“Ina’s spirit is magical. I’ve become one with my gastrointestinal tract.” Larry Yurdin, Corporate Computer Consultant

"This is a really great class!" Ed Rosenthal, current attendee, working on his memoir of being lost in the wilderness without food or water for seven days. He will appear, telling this story, on the Discovery Channel's Ultimate Survivor, July 2013

"This class has been a kick in the butt to my writing. Tremendous! It's so motivating because of the process we do here. I can just be freed up to let the words flow. My critic is gone. He's somewhere in the Bahamas. I realize OMG, I've got so many stories to write, and it's not traumatic, the way it used to be. And listening to others telling stories, reminds me of others of my own." Michael McCarty, Internationally Renowned Storyteller, Current attendee

Attendees, Saturday workshop for IWOSC

"After seeing you do this workshop, I feel I can trust you, Ina. I look forward to working with you."

"I really got my money's worth!"
