I just had to write and tell you what a huge help you have been to me in getting my writing career off the ground!!! I have never taken a course that was more fun (I laughed out loud more than I can remember ever laughing in a class before!!!). More important than that, I've never taken a course where I learned more about writing.

Thanks to your insightful and detailed lessons and handouts, I now have a dozen articles published in national magazines, and my second novel has just been contracted. I know I could never have have accomplished all of this without your willingness to edit my stuff, hold my hand, give me pep talks, and share secrets about the business.

You have literally helped to make my writing dream come true. Thank you seems such a sad excuse of a thing to say after all you've done for me, but thank you!!

Fondly,
