Established in 2001, Wingate Consulting is Molly’s way of doing what she likes best, helping people get their ideas into words.

She has published feature essays, a cookbook, a walking tour of an historical site, several life stories, and a court history while coaching scores of writers.

Molly is married to Brian Murphy and has two sons, Gavin and Aidan. She volunteers in the schools her sons attend. A founding member of the Manitou Springs Education Foundation, she served that organization in many capacities. She currently serves as a Chair of the Manitou Springs Historic Preservation Commission. She loves to read, write, listen to music, travel, cook, hike, bird watch, and watch her boys play sports.
