The foundation of Linda’s success is the ability to weave her writing and insurance expertise together in a tapestry of community and collective learning.
Her publishing credits include books (fiction and nonfiction), magazine articles, and a monthly newspaper column. Today, she uses that experience to serve as a collaborative writing coach, helping authors of all types (including novelists, essayists, and technical writers) strengthen their craft and build their own publishing careers.
Linda’s extensive background in the insurance industry as an agency owner and licensed producer allows her to bring real-life experience to her teaching and consulting. Through her specialized insurance career mentoring, she helps the next generation of professionals navigate the complexities of the industry and transition toward independence.
In all she does, Linda tells stories–she doesn’t lecture–and enjoys a reputation for actively engaging her audience, whether in a live or virtual setting.
Linda’s current writing memberships include the Author’s Guild, Mystery Writers of America, Mystery Writers of America/New England, Romance Writers of America, and Rhode Island Romance Writers. In the past, Linda has held membership and board member positions in several other writer’s organizations.
Linda is currently licensed as a resident producer in Massachusetts with lines of authority in Life, Health, Property, and Casualty. In the past, she has held registration with FINRA after passing her Series 6 and 63 exams and was also licensed as a Property and Casualty Consultant in Montana.
