Most valuable course ever: “I have attended many writing classes and workshops, have written as a journalist and published children’s stories. This is the single most valuable course I have ever taken. Others writing inspired me and gave me new interest in writing.”

I am writing again: “After years of writers’ block, I am writing again, thanks to Susan. She brought new techniques and new materials I hadn’t experienced before and created an atmosphere of freedom and camaraderie that allowed us all to benefit from each other’s work and experience.”

Calls forth something in me: “I write better in Susan’s presence. She calls forth something in me—in each of us—because she believes there are stories in each of us searching for a voice.”

Jumpstarted my writing: “It really jumpstarted my writing and helped me produce more. It also allowed me to get to know people from the community with similar interests. It renewed my love of writing, especially poetry.”

Just what I needed: “The imaginative exercises and warm, supportive tenor of Susan Lawson’s writing workshop were just what I needed to get my creative juices flowing. It was worth way more than it cost, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the deep satisfaction of writing in community.”

A great opportunity: “Generally my writing is designed to satisfy other people. I rarely take time to write just to suit me. Susan’s workshops offered a great opportunity to explore writing for myself. The workshops are noncompetitive, and the participants are very supportive. Thanks, Susan!”

Opened doors: “Thank you, Susan, for all the doors you have opened in my mind and heart via your writing classes! You have a wonderful gift, and I have been blessed to partake of it!”
