A Conversation with Author and Multi-Preneur, Lynne Golodner

  1. A Conversation with Author and Multi-Preneur, Lynne Golodner Maria Leonard Olsen 27:21

Detroit-area author Lynne Golodner’s newest novel, Cave of Secrets arrived this August. Lynne made multiple midlife pivots in her life, moving from journalism to a complete commitment to her own writing-focused businesses. She actively chose to chase the things she most wanted — and found them.

While dedicated to her own craft – 10 books and counting — she lifts up other writers in other ways, including running her own Coaching, publishing and marketing businesses. She speaks with great expertise on balancing life as a writer and entrepreneur, and the culture of women writers supporting each other. 

Her other books include Women of Valor, two poetry collections, and six nonfiction books, including Hide and Seek: Jewish Women and Hair Covering and The Flavors of Faith: Holy Breads. She has written thousands of articles and is a marketing entrepreneur, writing coach and host of the ⁠Make Meaning Podcast⁠.

After working as a journalist in New York and Washington, D.C., Lynne returned to her native Detroit to pursue a freelance writing career and teach writing. In 2007, she created ⁠Your People⁠, a marketing and public relations company with a focus on storytelling, Relationships and higher purpose. Over the years, Your People has worked with the Yoga industry, nonprofits and in K-12 and Higher Education, with a specialty in Waldorf/Steiner schools. Today, the company focuses solely on guiding authors in building brands and marketing their writing.

Lynne’s journalistic and creative nonfiction writing has appeared in Saveur, the Chicago TribuneBetter Homes and GardensMidwest Living, the Detroit Free PressPorridge Magazine, the Jewish Literary JournalThe Good Life ReviewHadassah MagazineThe ForwardValiant ScribeStory UnlikelybioStories,⁠ The Dillydoun Review,⁠ Adelaide Magazine, QuibbleLit and YourTango, among many more publications. Plus, one of Lynne’s creative nonfiction essays was a finalist in the Annie Dillard Creative Nonfiction contest at Bellingham Review.

As a Writing Coach and Literary Instructor, Lynne teaches writing around the world, leads writers’ retreats and facilitates The Writers Community. She provides 1:1 Writing Coaching and Developmental Editing services as well. Lynne fuses her Marketing expertise with her Writing background in webinars and masterminds focused on arming writers with the tools to market their work and build consistent, compelling author brands.

In 2023, Lynne founded ⁠Scotia Road Books⁠, a hybrid publisher for women over 40 to bring strong stories and stronger voices to a market that often overlooks this powerful population. Lynne’s novel, Woman of Valor, was the first publication produced by ⁠Scotia Road Books⁠ in September 2023.

Lynne chose the name, Scotia Road Books, because of the symbolic path an author takes toward publication. Plus, Scotia – the ancient word for Scotland – represents independence, rebellion, culture and identity, knowing who you are and dedication to being your truest self. While she happens to live on Scotia Road, Lynne built the press in the image of this symbolism and layered meaning.

Lynne graduated from the University of Michigan (BA, Communications/English) and Goddard College (MFA, Writing) and earned a Certificate in Entrepreneurship from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program through Wayne State University in 2018. She is the mother of four young adults and lives in Huntington Woods, Michigan. Lynne is at work on her next novel.
