Testimonials for my writer's retreat:
| The Writer's Intensive was an invaluable experience. Never before have I been in an environment where I felt so able to share and create and discover. I will be forever changed because of this experience - oh yeah - and so will my writing. ~ Aly Viny Laura's writers workshop creates not only an environment for creativity but a place to examine accomplished past work. This is not an ordinary, dry, what-to-do-next workshop, but an experiential program designed to further your artistry, as well as your ability to market that artistry. Add some food, fun outings, and social activities, and you have a super weekend workshop well worth your time and money. ~ Lisa Gold, Owner - Actors Connection, Public Speaker and Future Published Writer |
