Shoshana Kobrin
Welcome to my PWR Author's Page - Shoshana Kobrin
Writing Consultant, Editor, Author
Kobrin was born in South Africa. From an early age, she was awed by the written word. After a Master's degree in literature, she pioneered multiracial communication courses during apartheid at the Johannesburg Teacher Training College. Interest in interracial dynamics led to a Master's degree in psychology at John. F. Kennedy University in California. She became a psychotherapist, a university professor and facilitated workshops and retreats professionally and in the community. More recently, she gave retreats and workshops at San Damiano Retreat and Acalanes Adult Education.
Twelve years ago, Kobrin moved from psychotherapy and wrote her first book; a how-to journaling guide. Four self-help books based on her work as a psychotherapist followed. Her short story collection: Roots and Wings: Growing Up in Apartheid South Africa is an insider's view of the oppression in South African history. A Tempo: Seasons of a Life explores the transitory nature of time in poetry and painting. The poems are divided into four seasons. The watercolor illustrations were inspired by Chinese brush painting.

Kobrin's latest book, Life Tales: How to Write Your Memoir, was published last year. It shows how to use fictional techniques to transform the account of one's life into a captivating tale. In progress are how-to books on writing short stories, novels, poetry, and non-fiction. Kobrin has taken up the challenge of technology by creating Zoom and online courses as well as offering writing consultation and editing services.
