About
Alice Elizabeth Moody
Writing Coach, Workshop Instructor, and
Book Group Facilitator
I have always revered words and their ability to explain, persuade, and enlighten.
Equipped with a bachelor's degree in English from Johns Hopkins, I worked briefly in publishing before returning to school and earning a master's degree from the University of Chicago. Upon graduation, I found my true passion –writing and helping others share their stories through writing. In 1998, when I was an English teacher, living in San Francisco, I first offered my services to students and small businesses.
​
Through my years of experience, including the past decade, where I have led popular writing workshops on Chicago's North Shore, worked individually with scores of students and professionals, and facilitated book groups, I have gained a reputation for producing excellent results and forming strong relationships.
If you need an experienced writer, editor, and coach who provides a fully integrated service, dedicated to telling your story, then please contact me to discuss the benefits of working with Platinum Pen Consulting.
