Kathrin Lake

When Kathrin Lake was eight, she made up stories, cast the other kids in parts, raided her mother’s closet and then started rehearsals immediately. Much later she studied theatre and film at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, B.C. Although she developed a passion for nonfiction by writing for newspapers and other publications, it was being in the theatre that reignited her storytelling days as a child. She started winning some awards and prizes in playwriting and screenplay writing. Later, Kathrin co-founded and taught for The Vancouver School of Writing and is a full time writer, story coach and professional speaker. Her well reviewed book on writing is "Writing with Cold Feet" as well as "The A to Zen of Writing" and her memoir series, "The Happy Hammock." She lives in Canada and Mexico.
