As a small kid I loved to make up stories. They weren't very good, or even very inventive, but I simply enjoyed the process of creating. I dreamed of one day penning novels and took writing classes at Colgate University, where I graduated with a degree in English.
And then reality intruded. I would need to get a job. And so I landed in the field of public relations where eventually I rose to a senior vice president of Porter Novelli. I wrote corporate materials and press kits and pitched accounts and did everything from race car PR to a brochure on bunion prevention and a press kit on the benefits of cloth versus paper diapers (the environmental impact came out about equal). I learned a lot. I also spent a year in Beijing, China, in 1988 working for communications company Hill & Knowlton, helping international clients break into markets in the People's Republic of China.
All the while, I kept freelancing: writing for myself, for clients and writing articles for publication. I opened my own freelance writing and PR business in 1991 when I became a mother and got a little more flexibility.
I began to hone my craft as a writer who talked about her own experiences and those of her family in a pretty honest way. I was a contributing editor to Family Fun magazine and my articles have appeared in such places as Health, Country Living <http://www.countryliving.com/cooking/entertaining/summer-lake-house-0806> and Prevention <http://www.prevention.com/cda/article/true-love-s-true-test/57dffde501038110VgnVCM20000012281eac____/health/healthy.relationships/marriage>.
As a spokesperson for Family Fun
My first book In an Instant
No one was more surprised than we were when it hit number one on the New York Times bestseller list and stayed there for four weeks.
We were proud that the book helped to put a face on the serious issue of traumatic brain injury among returning Iraq war veterans, as well as the millions of Americans who live with this often invisible, but life-changing affliction. In the end, people tell me it is a love story; a story about a family, a marriage and a journey to heal.
Following Bob's injury and miraculous recovery, we founded the Bob Woodruff Foundation, Remind.org
