Speaker Biography:

Laurie Schnebly Campbell loves giving workshops for writer groups, drawing on her background as a counseling therapist and romance writer. Her first novel was nominated by Romantic Times as the year’s “Best First Series Romance,” and her second beat out Nora Roberts for “Best Special Edition of the Year.”

After six books for Special Edition, she turned her attention to writing non-fiction—using her research into the nine personality types to help writers create plausible, likable people with realistic flaws. Her other favorite activities include playing with her husband and son, recording for the blind, counseling at a mental health center, and working with other writers.
