Born in San Francisco, a fifth-generation Californian, Martha Alderson grew up in the Bay Area in the 50's and 60's, non-verbal and dyslexic. She modeled for a time and then became a speech pathologist. Now as the author of the best-selling The Plot Whisperer and Boundless Creativity: A Spiritual Guide for Overcoming Self-Doubt, Emotional Traps, and Other Creative Blocks, she takes readers and writers beyond the words into the very heart of the Universal Story, and deep into the creative process. She invites you to visit MarthaAlderson.com and is happy to meet virtually with book groups and writing groups.
