“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for teaching the Self-Editing class on Rose's Colored Glasses. I took the class earlier this year and by applying what I learned to my manuscript, I managed to final in a RWA Chapter contest.”
"... even more than the wonderful tips and checklist and exercises, this workshop taught us how to discipline ourselves, which I love. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
“Thank you. I am more aware of what is entailed to be a writer. I need way more training, LOL.”
“This was by far the BEST class I’ve taken. I learned so much, I’m sure it will all come in handy.”
