Testimonials
Basic Novel Writing Course: Class Gift presented to Cindy August 2017
"I spent most of my USAF time as an Evaluator Pilot--scoring instructor pilots in the air and in the classroom--and I know a good teacher when I see one. Your subject matter knowledge is outstanding, and yet you have the self-confidence to admit when you don't know something. That's rare. Also, you listen very well, and grasp the essence of the sometimes vague ideas we students are trying to express. And, above all, you're always very supportive." (Basic Novel Course)
"[T]he most important lesson was the value of community. I'd never witnessed anything like the brainstorming sessions you led us through--the synergy was amazing. That taught me the need to work with other writers to overcome the shortcomings of my own perspectives on character and plot. " (Character Bac·cha·na·li·a)

"I really liked the character development [Character Bac·cha·na·li·a] and three act story structure lessons, and the practical steps they gave me to get my story going." (Basic Novel Course)
"It has made me more mindful and deliberate in what I write and how I think creatively." (Basic Novel Course)
"I loved your presentation on multiple character scenes." (This is my circus; these are my monkeys)
