You carry a story inside you that only you can tell.

You sense that there is something glowing inside you, waiting to be told. But you don't know how to say it. Or you don't have time. Or your voice got lost along the way.

We're Ashmae and Kathy and we created the courses at Mine to Tell to help you find your unique voice and express it with confidence.

We're honored that you're here.

And we are so excited to hear what you have to share.

Ashmae Hoiland is a creator of art, of writing, of projects that try to make the world better. She received a BFA in painting and an MFA in poetry. She is the writer/illustrator of five children's books; creator of the We Brave Women project (an initiative to tell the stories of brave women around the world through art and writing); writer and illustrator of 100 Birds Taught Me To Fly (a memoir), winner of several awards, including being a finalist in the national Indiefab awards. She has taught writing in University settings, as a keynote speaker, at dozens of events and retreats.

Kathy West is a writer who loves to see a creative impulse put to use. She received her MFA in fiction and a handful of her short stories have been published in Apalachee Review, Kenyon Review Online, and elsewhere. As an introvert who likes talking into microphones, she has read her creative non-fiction on stage for Lit Lounge at SMoCA in Scottsdale AZ, Chow Bella and Bar Flies in Phoenix AZ, and Dirty Laundry Lit in Los Angeles.

We'd love to hear from you!
