Past Participants' Writing Masterclass Experiences:
 

• Each session was worthwhile and engaging! I have a better sense of how to approach a writing project, my own or someone else's.
• The individual writing time gave us the opportunity to immediately apply the principles to our own work. The coaching was amazing, letting us check in quickly for redirection.
• The master class gave me language and a practical approach for 'cleaning up' my writing.
• Overall, fantastic! I’m leaving with a toolbox full of tips, tricks and tactics to immediately apply to my own writing. Thank you!
• I rediscovered the joy of writing.
