Paula Keogh is an author, teacher, and memoir coach with a PhD in Creative Writing.

“Paula has polished the wisdom of witness. She met me precisely where I was at each turn, holding my book, and me as a writer, with both gentleness and strength. She is at once playful and profound in her feedback and inquiry, allowing for multiple voices to emerge in their own way and time. Above all, Paula was deeply gracious in our work together. And who among us doesn’t need all the grace we can get?” mk nelson
