Corbin Lewars

Corbin wrote her first book, The Nosy Puppy, at the age of five. She moved on from construction paper and staples to a typewriter when writing her autobiography, My Life, at the age of ten. She has continued on to author Creating a Life, which has been nominated for the 2011 PNBA and WA State Book Awards, Swings (out for submission), and is currently working on another memoir and a guidebook for women contemplating divorce. Fortunately, she now uses a laptop. 

Her essays have been published in Hip Mama, Seattle PI, A Wild Ride, Mothering, Midwifery Today and over twenty-five publications. She was the editor of Verve, a Seattle women's magazine, the publisher of Reality Mom for eight years, and currently writes for the Seattle PI and Ballard News Tribune.

After a stint of quitting jobs frequently, moving to over a dozen cities, and traveling throughout Europe and Asia, she finally settled back down in the Pacific Northwest in 1994 to begin her career in publishing. She quickly learned that she would need a second job to support herself, so began teaching writing as well (because we all know teachers are millionaires). Working two jobs didn't keep her busy enough, so she returned to school to earn her Master's Degree in 1998. Somehow, she was able to complete all of these tasks simultaneously, but has never been as productive since. 

Probably due to exhaustion, she quit the 9 to 5 world in 2000 and focused on her goals of becoming a writer, coach, and a mother. She is happy to say she succeeded at all three.
