Writer's Rebound from Ballot Box Loss

Lori B. Duff thought she would be the voters' obvious choice for probate court judge. She had a decade's experience with a major metropolitan court, and her opponent wasn't even a lawyer. Her unexpected loss was a stiff rebuke. At 42, she brushed herself off and found renewed life as a ghost writer, editor, and a best-selling author of 3 memoirs. She recently won a gold medal in the 2017 eLit awards. She has a series of memoir writing classes designed to give people a head start on writing their stories.
