Marlys Marshall Styne, a retired college English teacher, rediscovered the joys and benefits of writing at age 73, when she wrote her first book, "Reinventing Myself: Memoirs of a Retired Professor" (Infinity, 2006). That book won a first-place award in the 2007 Illinois Woman’s Press Association Communications Contest. Her second book, "Seniorwriting: A Brief Guide for Seniors Who Want to Write" (Infinity, 2007), was inspired by her first. "Seniorwring" won first place in the 2008 IWPA contest. Ms. Styne lives in Chicago, where she writes and promotes writing by, for, and about senior citizens. She writes two blogs, “Never too Late!” and “Write your Life!” and is a columnist and contributor for senior web sites.
