About Amber Lea Starfire
Bringing truth and creativity into the world — and empowering others to do the same — is the work of my life.
I truly believe that there is power in the story of people’s lives. My work here combines what I’ve learned from a career in teaching and writing, an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of San Francisco and an MA in Education from Stanford University, as well as more than two decades of developing an audience for my own life-writing. I’m fascinated with the unique path each writer takes in finding his or her voice.
You can absolutely do this.
I’d love to know what project or inspiring idea has led you here! Let me know what you’re working on and how I might support you.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure. ~Helen Keller
