Loren Stephens found her way to LA from NY in a career and life transition. While there away from her Mom, she convinced her mother, 'a grand dame' to let her write her write her memoir. In doing so, she was sparked to launch a business writing other people's memoirs.
Loren who is now "Hollywood's Go-To Ghostwriter" founded two companies. 'Bright Star Memoirs' geared toward helping entertainment and sports figures tell their life stories.
And 'Write Wisdom', to provide support and guidance for 'anyone' interested in writing their life story.
Every life is unique, but not everyone has the self-confidence or skill to tell their story without help. Not even celebrities.
Her latest celeb book out is a dazzling Hollywood memoir with Jeff Margolis who produced television's most memorable variety series and specials over the past fifty years—from iconic variety shows of the 1970s to 8 Oscars!
"We're Live in 5", is the ultimate behind-the-scenes tour says Loren, with a foreword by Billy Crystal. It's a tell-it-as-it-is with all the glamour you expect, along with a deeply revealing human portrait of working with larger-than-life personalities at television's most dizzying and demanding heights. It's also a great insider education for anyone aspiring to be an entertianment producer.
Loren Stephens own personal essays and short stories have been published in numerous literary journals and newspapers including the Los Angeles Times; the Chicago Tribune and more.
A New York native, Loren's love for the theater, film and writing is what really led her to Los Angeles. As an executive producer, she received an Emmy nomination for the PBS documentary, Legacy of the Hollywood Blacklist, narrated by Burt Lancaster. Her debut historical novel, 'All Sorrows Can Be Borne', was originally published in 2021 by Rarebird.
Loren is a member of Greenlight Women, a dynamic and diverse community of women over forty in media and entertainment. She also serves as a National Commissioner of the Anti-Defamation League.
