The classes – Magic Marketing and Poetry – were full of enthusiasm and stimulating suggestions from their instructors. Both were such a pleasure as well as generous with offers for further help and very respectful of our time and participation.

Jennifer Wilkov’s marketing course was phenomenal. She was very engaging and energetic.

Susan Breen is a brilliant instructor. More, Please!!

The “Art of Dialogue’ (Nicole Blades) and ‘Revision’ (Nancy Agabian) were very helpful in teaching new techniques as well as a refresher on already known techniques.

The Agent Panel … was very interesting as well.

The panel provided some additional insights into the world of publishing.

The memoir workshop was one of the best writers workshop I ever attended. The Instructor Dorian Fox was well prepared, very welcoming, and encouraging. I left feeling energized and much better equipped to continue writing.

My poetry writing workshop with Ben Berman, How a Poem Moves, was first-rate.

He has lit a creative fire in me.

Thank You!
