Cat Wagman, Contributing Editor

Cat Wagman is now contributing editor assisting with editing articles, ezines, and promotional copy. She is a professional writer with more than twenty-five years experience, began her communications career in Public Broadcasting. Now, as a full-time writer and consultant, she provides all types of advertising, marketing, and office procedure documentation and training materials to businesses in South Florida. She considers this her “bread-and-butter” writing, while her poetry, fantasy, and children’s stories are her “dessert.”

In 1976, Cat and her husband, Jan, managed to write and mail more than 150 notes in only three days-after they got married, and before they left on their honeymoon! It was from this point on that Cat became known as the family’s Thank-You Note Writing Expert.

Later, Cat drew on her experiences and developed her first Why … THANK YOU! FUNshop™, which she presented to her elder son’s third grade class in 1990. She continues to use Thank-You Notes to introduce the joys of creative writing to kids of all ages (and teachers, too!) during Career Days at local schools.

As a Thank-You Note Writing Expert, Cat helps people of every age to creatively compose their thoughts and translate them to paper. Her ultimate goal is to encourage the exploration of creative writing as a recreational, therapeutic, and expressive tool for living life to the fullest. “Why … THANK YOU!” grew from her love of writing, her enjoyment in teaching others, and the hundreds of Thank-You Notes she has written over the years.
