What people have had to say about our programming

"Impressive. Such deep conversations in just 10 minutes."
Harrison Young Workshop
“Elizabeth was great. Incisive but supportive, and very skilled at leading discussions. It was also very useful getting feedback from several other writers with very different perspectives. Definitely worth the investment of time and money.”
Elizabeth Genovise Workshop
"Very professional. Really appreciated all that you shared, not just about editing, but about writing in general, story structure and the industry. Please do more."

Victoria Griffin Workshop
