'Start small,' I told them. 'Write the small stories, small memories, and work from there. Write down your stories one memory, one snippet at a time, even if it means only writing down one sentence.' The participants [of the workshop] said they only knew bits of the past, that they didn't know the whole picture. My response: to write down what you do know. You can find out the rest later, or maybe even never, but what's important is to write down how you experience your family's past.

Every story, every book, begins with one word. Starting small will lead to a finished product. But the most important thing is to start in the first place. Rabbit Fool Press was created in 2010 to guide writers in their journey, from start to finish.

Rabbit Fool Press founder Brandy Liên Worrall-Soriano began her formal career as a writer and editor 15 years ago, working for book, magazine, and university publishers, as well as being an active leader in the community arts scenes in Boston, Los Angeles, and Vancouver. Because of her passion, interest, and experience in teaching others about all aspects of the written word, from initial thought to the printed product, she has been able to guide hundreds of writers to realizing their dream of publication.

Brandy's distinctive mix of skills and talents not only gets the pen moving, but also puts into the hands of her students a published book with their names and stories in it. At the very core of Rabbit Fool Press's mission is the belief that you CAN write, you DO have a story to tell, and you - and your family and friends - WILL see it in print and cherish every word.

Rabbit Fool Press achieves the accomplishment of publication through its unique six-week writing workshops. So not only do you have a book with your name in it in a matter of months, but you also get to be linked into a network of other writers, with whom you can share your stories, feedback, and tips. You'll have the opportunity to develop creative friendships that will last a lifetime.

In addition to its popular workshops, Rabbit Fool Press also publishes anthologies, children's books, poetry, and limited-edition chapbooks on a range of subjects, including mixed race writing and family history.
