Founder & Managing Director
Elaine Marie Factor is a writing teacher of all ages, biographer, and Philippine-based memoir writing mentor. She is also a registered editor, author/writer, and subject matter expert with the National Book Development Board Philippines. She finds calm in arts and gains confidence through prayer. Her world stops when she reads and listens to stories, whether true or imagined.

In 2018, she wrote an e-poetry collection titled Gentle Words; and in 2022, published Scribbling from Memory, a self-help/memoir that thoroughly discusses memoir as an art and form. Her articles and essays have appeared in Feast Magazine, FiSH Magazine, Angel Rising Magazine, Didache, Didache Youth, Gabay, and Yapak PH.
