“I could hardly wait to open each weekly lesson.
Alison’s contagious enthusiasm was totally worth the price of admission.
The content itself is priceless: dynamic author interviews, thoughtful presentations, generative writing exercises, a library of resources to draw upon for a lifetime.
Memoir Writing Ink is one of the best investments I have ever made in myself. ”
“When I signed up for this course, I couldn’t imagine what it would be like, nor what I would receive. I could go on and on about Alison’s passion, enthusiasm, knowledge and experience, but let me just say:
This has been one of the richest gifts I have ever given myself.”
“I was a bit reticent to participate in any kind of writing course as I had been badly burned by several negative experiences with writers groups in the past.
Taking this course has been the best decision ever!
I am writing again. The stories are flowing and I am now feeling inspired, hopeful, energized and thrilled with my progress. Alison’s lightness of being, her kindness, and her incredibly comprehensive and well-thought out program have led me out of the darkness.
I have taken many writing courses over the last 25 years, have earned an MFA in Creative Writing, and I can say without hesitation that this is, by far, the most well-organized, comprehensive and effective course I have ever taken.”
