Testimonials:

“This was one of the best workshops we have hosted. Barbara was very concise, efficient, clear, and engaging. I wish we could have one-on-one writing mentoring with her.”

 

“It couldn’t be improved. Barbara gave an excellent and useful workshop on this topic, and could probably provide an equally powerful workshop on the art of conducting a workshop.”
