Lee Doyle is a marketing strategist, writer, and book coach who helps leaders, professionals, and emerging authors clarify their voice and bring their stories to life. She began her career in Public Relations at the San Francisco Art Institute before joining International Data Group, publisher of PC World and InfoWorld. At PC World, she worked closely with senior editorial, circulation, and advertising executives, building the magazine’s public presence and writing widely respected profiles of technology marketing leaders.

During the dot-com revolution, Lee launched and managed her own communications firm, representing companies such as Softbank, Palm Computing, Pointcast, Selectica, Blue Coat and Red Condor. Other clients include healthcare leaders Blue Shield of California and Kaiser Permanente. Her work consistently helped executives refine their message, strengthen their reputation, and expand market reach. Lee spent four years at the Shift Network. As lead marketing strategist and writer, she co-designed trainings and managed digital marketing programs for wellness and spirituality industry leaders and authors such as Michael Beckwith, David Crow, Anodea Judith, Anita Moorjani, and Mirabai Starr.

Writing has been central to Lee’s life from the beginning. At age eight, she wrote poetry, articles, and tried her hand at family memoir. Her first published piece was a news story about Arbor Day tree planting at her grammar school.  Writing became not only a way to bring order and meaning to life’s experiences, including the loss of her mother to suicide, but also the foundation of her professional path: guiding organizations and individuals to find their voice and tell their story with clarity and impact.

More recently, Lee has taught writing to teens and adults. She now draws on that experience in her work with write-or-die writers and leaders.

Lee Doyle is a tremendous gift to writers. She’s read many versions of my creative nonfiction book and always offers thoughtful, discerning critique. More than anyone else I’ve worked with, Lee has understood my intentions as a writer and perfectly tailored her feedback to help me achieve my goals. — Bailey Vandiver, author of Following Alice Dunnigan

A published author and essayist herself, Lee’s work has appeared in Calyx, Consequence, Creative Dreamers, Nostos, The Healing Muse, and Unbroken. Her first novel, The Love We All Wait For, won Best Novel at the East of Eden Writers Conference. An audiobook of the novel, retitled Hearts Crazier Than Mine, will be released late Fall 2025. She also publishes Bird Seeds, a monthly Substack newsletter, and is currently at work on her second novel.

Lee holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Eastern Kentucky University’s Bluegrass Writers Studio and a Bachelor of Arts in French from San Francisco State University. Her best friend is a hopelessly sweet Labrador Retriever named Jasper. They share a lair in San Rafael, California.
