We Promise No Email Overload! WHAT WRITERS SAY Some feedback from a recent workshop "Bloody fantastic! A really professional workshop - so helpful, and for all stages/types of writers ... will be raving about this to all." "I loved the structure, pace and practicality of the workshop, and the sharing of vulnerability and triumphs." "Extremely positive: inspirational, but with tactical, strategic, practical backup." "I was worried I would feel unsafe, or that some people would dominate, but you did a magnificent job of creating a safe, fair, open and still challenging and interesting workshop." "Life-changing ... pitch perfect and unique in discussing what is usually never discussed. Thank you for your care & humanity - and for giving us new ways to inhabit our writer selves." "Wonderful, affirming and fun! Confirms my intentions not to suffer for my writing or creativity. I loved how human and down to earth you were together." ----------------------------------------------- "Thank gawd, then, for Alison Manning" Charlotte Wood, author "Everyone needs an Ali" Caroline Baum, author & journalist |
