Not self-published.
“Your seminar was helpful to me in a most singular way: it galvanized me to action...It was like a mini-vacation, getting each of us out of our work mode and into a place we needed to be, with other people who are writing. I would encourage anyone interested in getting their shit together (i.e. writing) to attend your seminar." -- Robin Godfrey, now author of Patriot Son, Patriot Father: Conversations Across the Divide
"My favorite thing about the workshop was that you made it seem possible. You didn’t promise us the Oprah Show, but you did make it seem possible that little ol’ me, could get a book published." Jane Marks, now author of Scarlett's Guide to Divorce Survival (divorcesisterhood.com)

NOTE: Though the focus of the seminar is on developing and pitching nonfiction, we will also discuss how to pitch completed fiction.
