Taylor Martindale

Wonderful workshop... I was so impressed. Writers were positive about every critique they were given. They squeezed every last bit of value from this workshop because they worked their butts off. I was thrilled to work with authors who had this mindset.

This seminar was a great experience; a very thoughtful and respectful group of writers who worked well under the “fishbowl” critique scenario. Bravo to them!
