Testimonials: 

“For serious writers who seek an opportunity to learn the craft and how to apply the tools of the trade to the greatest extent possible in a four-week session, definitely take this workshop! You can’t help but improve on skills and creativity. You will come out with a much better understanding of the process than before and leave with a stocked toolbox.”  – P.G.

“Anatomy of a Novel presents some basics of writing fiction that I haven’t found elsewhere, or that just haven’t clicked before. It has been enormously valuable. I’m actually writing a story now! ” –
