Marybeth Lorbiecki, M.A, brings to her workshop knowledge gained as a children’s book editor and author of over 25 children’s books, most of them award-winners. (She was the Wisconsin Children’s Book Author of the Year 2008 and twice winner of the Living the Dream Award.) She has served as a freelance editor of adult and children’s books, run workshops on memoir and creative writing, and taught literature, writing, and an in-depth exploration of children’s books at the university level as an adjunct instructor. Her musical “Lucette! Paul Bunyan Meets His Match” (formerly subtitled “A Lively Tale of Lumberjacks, Trees & Paul Bunyan”) was workshopped at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and is in process of moving to next steps. One of the actors proclaims Lucette “the new Lorax!”. The work is based on her children’s picture book “Paul Bunyan’s Sweetheart,” where Paul and his lumberjacks are put through three fun love tests to help them have a more holistic view of the trees and forests.
