She has written novels, short stories, poems, and nonfiction essays for traditional and independent markets, including publications in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. She has contributed to four traditionally published books on journaling and creativity coaching, including The Great Book of Journaling and How Journal Writing Can Support a Life of Wellness, Creativity, Meaning, and Purpose (Mango/Conari, 2022). She has also written indie-published fiction under pen names in young adult, new adult, racy romance, and cozy mystery genres. Bosshard is a skilled facilitator who has led workshops in Canada, the United States, France, and Mexico. Through her coaching services business, Deep Story Design, she develops and maintains online courses and programs while working with individual clients as both a story coach and developmental editor.
