Experienced

A veteran writing consultant, book-coach, and writing workshop leader, Jamie Morris has facilitated writing groups, workshops, and other group creative processes since 1982. She has taught creative writing at Seminole Community College and The Knowledge Shop, and has mentored Peer Writing Consultants at the Rollins College Writing Center. Jamie bases her coaching and teaching work on the best of cooperative learning theory and techniques—and her years of experience in her field.

Education, Associations, and Certifications

A College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA)-certified Master Level Writing Consultant, a repeat presenter for—and member of— Florida Writers Association (FWA) and The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), and a graduate of the Rollins College Writing Program, Jamie is also Central Florida's first Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA)-certified affiliate and creative writing workshop leader.

Style

With a community-oriented leadership style—and what some call a literary sixth sense—Jamie Morris helps writers achieve their next steps whether they are just beginning the writer's journey or have been traveling that path for some time.

"Writers Say . . ."

I admire the way Jamie tends to each writer's development while bringing participants into community with each other. With nurturance and challenge, Jamie encourages writers to play, explore, and take creative risks—in an atmosphere that is ripe for adventure.
