Our May speaker is Catharine Brankamp, a writing coach and workshop facilitator who describes herself as a world traveler, poet, and belly dancer. She has an MA in Creative Writing, and serves on the Board of Directors for the Nevada County Arts Council, as well as the organizing committees for the Sierra Poetry Festival and the Sierra Writers Conference. She has authored 27 fiction, non-fiction, and poetry books. 

In January 2025, she released her latest book, “Out Loud – An Adventure in Writing for Women”. Catharine states that people have been most intrigued by the chapters on creativity. In her presentation, Catherine will address some of the real concerns writers have about AI by discussing how we access our unconscious minds, the Muse, and how to get re-inspired for our work when the circumstances around us seem overwhelming.
