Welcome!
 I'm glad you found me here along the Scenic River Route in
 Wisconsin.  My name is Maryanne Coronna and I began the journey    
  into a writing life 13 years ago.  After earning a B.A. in journalism, I     
  joined the editorial staff at
Minnesota Monthly magazine.  
 From there, I established a freelance business, and in 2004 earned a
  Master of Fine Arts in creative writing at Hamline University.

  When I'm not writing or teaching, my husband
  Mark and I are busy nurturing a humble vineyard
   and orchard,
Sanctuary Vineyard, on the        
  Mississippi River (Lake Pepin to be exact), in
Stockholm.
             
Welcome to a Writing Life: Where the art of living & writing converge
My skills and expertise are available for a modest fee, fitting
any budget. Dedicated to a writing life, I invite the opportunity
to serve my neighboring communities and visitors. Together, we
share the art of living, and, as Annie Dillard says, that which gets
our
"blood going."
The written word is weak. Many people prefer life to it.
Life gets your blood going, and it smells good...This writing
that you do, that so thrills you, that so rocks and exhilarates
you, as if you were dancing next to the band,
is barely audible to anyone else.
