“You did a fabulous job with leading this workshop and achieving, in my opinion, a good balance of lecture and practice with a fun and pleasant vibe.”

“It was great, especially your attitude how to empower us as excellent writers.”

“Really loved it and truly appreciate the work that you put into this.”
