My name is Pat Cosentino, Board Chairwoman of the LIFE Program. The LIFE Program has always supported writing. I teach two classes devoted to encouraging writers and would-be writers to learn and develop their writing skills. These classes, Writing Workshop and Poetry Workshop can be the foundation for being able to submit to the LIFE annual magazine, Tapestries. As Editor, I encourage your submissions.
