About Your Guides…
In 2016, lifelong friends Jennifer Browdy and Audrey Kalman conceived of a workshop using birth as a metaphor for the writing process.
Combining Jennifer’s expertise as a memoirist and teacher with insights from Audrey’s work as a birth doula and writer, we began teaching together, first in person and then virtually. Since then, we have taught at many venues and developed a series of finely crafted master classes as well as unique techniques for facilitating productive writers’ circles.
In 2022, we launched an exciting new community where we offer the workshop series along with a variety of practical and inspirational classes and the opportunity to connect with other writers. Join us!
“What appeals to me about being in community with BYTS and its followers is both knowing that I will be heard, and my pleasure in hearing from Audrey, Jennifer and those who follow along on the wonderful BYTS journeys.”

“If I didn’t have a regular meeting of my BYTS group I’d be hard pressed to find the time to write. The group is warm, welcoming, and very astute. We encourage each other in our growth as writers.”
M.P.
BYTS provides a welcoming and very helpful home for the writing community. Audrey and Jennifer are skilled writers, coaches and leaders generously supporting us with regular opportunities to write together, learn from their deep professional experience, and receive helpful critiques for our work. I’ve enjoyed and appreciated everyone I’ve met in BYTS, and I know my writing has benefitted enormously. Thank you so much, BYTS.
