STORYTELLING DIRECTOR
Raya Sitman
I have published two novels with Written Out Loud as a storyteller and over a dozen as a story director. I have always loved storytelling and am grateful that I am able to share that love here at Written Out Loud. When I'm not working with Written Out Loud, I am a student at Binghamton University, majoring in business and psychology, and I'm probably either doing homework or crocheting.
I have always loved The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. When I was younger, I just thought that the names were silly, but as I got older, I fell in love with the characters and how caring and goofy they are while keeping the story action-packed. Now that it has become a musical, I fell in love with The Outsiders all over again.
I absolutely love watching kids who have never written anything creative before fall in love with writing. Watching them realize that writing doesn't have to be boring or laborious and that they are actually really smart is a magical experience that I am grateful for every time.
