She frequently contributed to national and regional magazines and some newspapers as well.Having earned her bachelor’s in liberal arts from Westminster College, New Wilmington, PA, Ms. Oberlin lived and worked in Western Pennsylvania before moving to Maryland in 2001. In 2012, Loriann became a full-time resident of the Eastern Shore, and she's served on the planning committee for the Bay to Ocean Writer's Conference for many years. She was a co-coordinator in 2018.She’s married, the mother of two young-adult sons, and has the life experience of separation, divorce, single parenthood, remarriage, and stepfamily formation. In addition, she’s taught many aspiring writers how to achieve their own publishing dreams. Her book WRITING FOR QUICK CASH was used in Barnes &amp; Noble's University boosting enrollment quite a bit. It's a frequent book that when gifted to someone else says "you've got talent." WRITING TO MAKE MONEY, the book series, fills this void as other writing books are now out of print after successful runs.With her knowledge and research base, Loriann earned her master’s degree in clinical counseling from Johns Hopkins University, and completed the post-master’s program as well.

Many who read her self-help books comment that it helps them to overcome common struggles. Loriann looks forward to posting reviews of non-fiction that she would feel comfortable recommending to clients and/or readers of parenting and other publications.Loriann Oberlin also writes contemporary women's fiction under the pen name Lauren Monroe.
