Marta Szabo
Marta Szabo, Co-Director of
the Authentic Writing Workshops, has
been a writer and editor all her
life. She was an editor in
mass-market paperbacks then in
magazines, interspersing these early
careers with a serious pursuit of
yoga and meditation. She lived in an
ashram – a yogic monastery -- for
over ten years, spending a year and
a half in India.
Since leaving the ashram in 2000,
Marta has pursued her own art,
picking up an MFA in Creative
Writing from Goddard College and
completing two book-length memoirs
as well as hundreds of short pieces.
Her on-line book, The Guru Looked
Good, receives
over one hundred
visits a day (the-guru-looked-good.blogspot.com),
and she is much sought after
as a skilled and sensitive
editor.
In addition to regular Authentic
Writing workshops, Marta has brought
the program to young people,
teaching in colleges and schools
throughout the Hudson Valley. She
has offered writing groups to cancer
survivors, young leaders, at-risk
teens, and young men in correctional
facilities. She created "Ink in the
Air," a creative writing radio show
for WJFF, a public radio station in
the Catskills, and FRICTION, a
biannual journal of writing from the
Authentic Writing workshops. She
edits
AuthenticWritingStories.blogspot.com
and posts her writing regularly at
